10/110 merge discussion

So the biggest bottleneck in the city is obviously the 10E becoming 1 lane at the merge.
Why not reduce 110 South to 1 lane before the merge so 10E could keep 2 lanes and Washington street is no longer an exit only lane type exit?
Or close the Washington street exit all together. The ghetto should not be served by the Eisenhower interstate system IMO.

This is the most logical band-aid and would be the most effective. You close the exit and you can still use the existing footprint of the entrance and exit ramps to add an additional lane. Once that happens, you'll have about 1/3-1/2 a mile to merge from 4 lanes to 3.

Easily the biggest clusterfrick in the city and it blows my mind nothing has been done about it.
Outside of getting a loop, this seems like one of the most obvious things to fix.

Political impossibility.

Too late now. The better question would be why not widen I-10 to 4 lanes so that the lane that is exit only at Washington doesn't end. However, that would require moving George's Place out from beneath the overpass, another political impossibility with Smokey as a mayoral candidate for the next go-round.

Any satellite images of the area? I've driven that way before and never noticed it going down to a single lane. Never during rush hour though.

I've been told that this is the only section of I-10 that is reduced to one lane not due to construction.
