IIRC a few years ago or so the government admitted that section needed more capacity but claimed they didn't have the funds to do anything about it. Just how expensive would it be to add lanes. I believe when they added lanes to a rather large stretch in the NW the cost was just $14 million. I realize that's because they had done a lot of the prep work when they built that section but did they not have the consortiums that built the NE and SE legs do the same thing? It would have been ideal if the government had set aside money for such expansions so they could always meet their own standards.
