The frick? Adding lanes where the bottleneck is gets rid of the bottleneck.


So if 3 lanes merge into 2 at the bridge, how will making it 4 lanes merging into 2 better?

The "bottleneck" is the bridge and widening the area before the bridge still leaves the "bottleneck" with a fatter "bottle" leading into it.

I was under the impression we were discussing adding lanes where it drops to one through lane?

Add wider shoulders, I'm fine with that and think it could help a great deal in some areas. Adding more lanes is futile though with the current bridge situation IMO.

We need pressure release valves such as a bypass, another bridge, a loop, etc.
