Without messing with polarity switching, a simple solution would
be to add an extra main line to the center section for a total
of four lines. This way, you can have two loops running the full length
of the layout. [1]
Of course, near the crossover, space for another line may be limited.
No problem--simply add a table to widen this part of the center section.
If the cost of tables is an issue, this extra table is on me.

[1] Just in case I was unclear, one loop uses the crossover.
The other loop would use the incline and a new line at grade level
in front of the crossover.
