Proactive Bridges
epzik8:
Tydings Bridge (I-95 in Maryland) was wide enough for three lanes from the highway's opening in the '60s. The same can't be said for if and when a fourth lane needs to be added in each direction.
rte66man:
When the Turner Turnpike (I-44) west of Tulsa was widened from 4 to 6 lanes a few years ago, all of the bridges and overpasses were built so a 4th lane could be added in both directions without having to rebuild the bridges.

When I lived there as a wee lad in 1978, the Alternate A1A bridge over the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter was 6 lanes wide while the rest of the road was mainly 2 lanes. It seemed fairly new, but I don't know the opening date.
Now, most of Alt A1A is 6 lanes in the area: https://goo.gl/maps/DKocgr6zkEaGTRNG7

Here in Wichita, Arkansas Ave widens from two lanes to four just for the bridge across the Little Arkansas River.

Oh man, the awful commutes I had, temping in college, because the county I lived in had widened a road to four lanes, but not the neighboring county where I worked.
