From what I can tell, the CPR overpass by Regent has 6 lanes right over the bridge. It cuts out to 2 right after the bridge ends. Was this done intentionally to somewhat future-proof for a 6 lane Lag? I think another lane in each direction would be great start for improving Lag.
Speaking of improvements, their finally resurfacing Lag from the Concordia overpass to Reenders Dr. They got rid of that left handed fault in the road surface that caused your vehicle to veer in and out of the center median. That was so awful for so many years... Unfortunately, it seems to be taking them forever to do this small stretch.
