Washington Bridge lane added (outlets, map, drive)

[Hollytree]

When they add the new 10 ft wide third lane, does anyone know if the merge will be into 3 or 2 lanes?
It's been so long that I've driven over that bridge I can't seem to picture the number of lanes!

If back into 2, I don't understand how this will help?

anyone?

The lanes are 10 feet, 10 feet, and 11 feet.

Is the bridge capable of handling all the additional weight and traffic?

So nobody can answer my question? I'll try to make it even clearer.

Does anyone know if the merge will be into 3 or 2 lanes once the bridge is crossed?

Does this one help? With it happening this week you would think one of the local news outlets would at least put a traffic flow map up.

JBtwinz You know, it's amazing, but local news just doesn't answer this simple question. I've looked at the local news stories.

Are we tying to merge 3 lanes back into 2 or not?!!!!!!

I know here locally they (city or state) usually post a traffic pattern on social media and local news before hand.

The RIDOT website is no help either. They have a webcam showing the bridge traffic but it doesn't show what happens at the end. This is just weird.

Probably a very simple answer- you'd think there were some people on here who actually drive this bridge. Sigh.
