I-5 is five lanes south of downtown but only if you count HOV lanes. Five regular lanes would require total reconstruction of the bridge system south of downtown.

Maybe I didn't understand what you were trying to say. At the Ship Canal Bridge, I-5 is four lanes each way plus four reversible express lanes.
Northbound I-5 drops down to two lanes past the Seneca Street exit. Southbound isn't quite as bad.

That's what I meant. I appreciate you clarifying. Anymore than four approach lanes to the bridge is pointless.

Looks WsDOT is getting damages awarded for the tunnel delays.

Maybe they can use that money for the street enhancement portion.
