I'm on the fence about that sort of upgrade in theory (in my city up north). But a 36' widening would probably flip it to a "no" in my mind unless major non-car benefits were included, like new bike lanes and caps.
I imagine some of the widening would be due to federal highway standards, not just state. But reassigning fault doesn't make it a better project.

The problem with this is the bottleneck through the corridor would still exist. Only two lanes in each direction would continue through the corridor and connect to three lane highway on each side like it currently does.
