f they don't get rid of the curve at the 110-10 merge, they are wasting their time. It doesnt matter if you have 100 lanes, coming down off that bridge then being forced into an 80degree turn is going to slow everyone and everything down.

So it’s taken over a decade to deal with the politics of simply adding a lane and it looks like we finally have a project, but you think it would be a good use of time to attempt to try and expropriate 13 city blocks of private property in a low income area in order to improve the curve off the bridge from 80 degrees to 60 degrees?

The alignment of the interstate is what it is. Adding a lane adds capacity. Improving the curve radius doesn’t.
