Mission Bridge

The Mission_Bridge should have been twinned by now. However, some people freak out with the concept of two 4 lane bridges.

A bus & HOV lane each way, plus a truck lane each way, as well as 2 general lanes each would improve on shipping & commuting needs. A new parallel bridge could also accommodate ample bike & footpaths.

This segment is already wide enough to accomodate 8 lanes. However, this highway connector has yet to be completed, let alone a new bridge.
