If congestion gets too bad then they can simply raise the toll to mitigate it. I think that will be the enduring legacy of the PMB - that it allowed transportation planners to introduce road pricing which can then be used as a tool to shape usage. The irony is that you didn't really need a new bridge to do that, you could have done it by simply building a toll plaza for the old bridge. Of course that would have been political suicide, but think of all the money we could have saved...
