Reply to comment by Status_Silver_5114 in View of I-95 North Viaduct demolition from mall garage. by tads73

That was the southbound side. The recent completion was the northbound section that was built on the footprint of the old southbound section, allowing northbound traffic to keep moving. The picture is the demolition of the original northbound section. It'll be replaced to add 3 additional lanes allowing for a breakdown lane, and 2 express left lanes. Check out the dotri page.

Ah ok that makes more sense 😂. I suppose it’s a pipe dream that they’ll fix the awful state offices / 146 clusterf*ck in the process.

Yep there will be a collector exit from I believe the mall to branch avenue so that people can't try to go from the left lane to the 146 exit at last minute and slow everyone down.

I'm not sure this is really comparable to widening a highway in the traditional sense where you're taking a 4 line highway and making it 5 for miles and miles. They're just taking a traffic chokepoint and improving the design. The only extra lanes are those bypass ones that are maybe 200-300 yards long.
