I doubt they are increasing the number of lanes because they anticipate LESS traffic in the future.
With evermore development in Florida will come more and more traffic. Just like I-75, and I-95, and I-81and I-77 (from Harrisburg PA to Charlotte) , as the amount of traffic the highways can handle increases, the more traffic they get. It seems like they can never get caught up. In 10 years the Turnpike will be just as congested as it is now, only it will be 3 lanes of heavy traffic instead of 2 lanes. You can count on it.
I used to love driving south from NY, to South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Now, it's pure hell. Trucks, more trucks, and road construction.
