My uncle's father was on the engineering team that designed the tunnel and they pushed for 6 lanes at that time.
At present you have 7 northbound lanes all merging into 1 lane at rush hour.
The people who don't see a case for any additional capacity are beyond myopic, especially when you are building out for 75-100 years.
The lineup for the Alex Fraser bridge is frequently 6+ km in the morning (2km on Nordel, 2km on 91, 2km on the SFPR connecting road).
