When the Roblin overpass went through it's overhaul shortly before the pandemic it was changed from 4 lanes to six lanes although two of them are currently ghost lanes. They took out the former middle pillar for the bridge and changed the walls under the bridge to be straight retaining walls instead of the slopes most underpasses have.

I noticed that. Does the 8-lane thing show up in any official documents?
