The 12 Lane Bridge

The Ship_Canal_Bridge is an impressive structure. Its like the upper 8 lane deck is the Seattle part of bridge and the 4 lane lower deck is the Vancouver, BC bridge. Imagine if everything was funneled into a 4 lane Vancouver bridge there. Fortunately, its a 12 lane bridge. Perhaps some day 1 of the express lanes might accommodate a bus lane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle#Transportation


The Van_Brienenoord_Bridge sure is nice and wide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Brienenoord_Bridge#History Its really two 6 lane bridges.
