It’s wonderful, Gene, that your so adept at making the complex, simple. So, you would only have an extra lane going in one direction? Or is that another assumption on my part. Why not spell it out in detail for us great unwashed. 

Comparing putting in a new bridge(6 lanes minimum + massive interchange/ramp work) over the Willamette with the Goodpasture Island Bridge ( which wasn't a new build, just widened ) is simply ludicrous. The amount of traffic crosses the two spans is incomparable, and the Beltline logistics alone would be nightmarish. Twenty million to do the Willamette? Your living a few decades out of current reality. Here's a simple thought for you, stick to what you do know, which obviously isn’t bridge construction. Thanks for the laugh.
