tbh I don't know what closing the Wash exit would achieve. Doesn't look like many cars use it, and everyone would still have to merge out of that lane.

you're exactly right. just closing the exit and nothing else is retarded and does nothing for traffic because that exit is a lane drop. the fix would be to extend that lane, in which case the exit could remain open anyway. there is no scenario where only the closing the exit makes any sense.
