Yes, and I-95 and I-75 should have been built with 4 lanes in each direction their entire length. Interestingly, there's a highway built about 15 years ago from Shanghai to Hangzhou , 6 lanes in each direction. In 2009, there was hardly anyone on it. I wonder about now, and 20 years from now. Wish our planners had that type of foresight, because it is a lot cheaper to "overbuild" a bit than to add on later.
