I believe part of that is going to widen the bridges or at least 2-10 bridge

Negative, at least not in the sense of adding lanes. Main purpose of project is to re-deck the main span per inspection concerns. They’re doing the other bells and whistles (lighting, guardrails, inspection platforms) while the frickery is underway.

Lighting will be lagniappe. Guardrails, however, are much needed. Years ago, Dad and I were behind a bright red Ford Ranger that hydroplaned coming down the eastbound curve. I remember that truck looking like a pinball bouncing off the concrete on both sides of the bridge. We (I’m talking fricking BARELY) missed t-boning this guy as he bounced from right side concrete to left.
