so....there already is a bottleneck there during peak time periods. Wouldn't it make more sense to add the new lanes through Concord before expanding the toll booth lanes?.......just sayin'

Come on, that make total sense. When is the last time you saw a state run agency do something that makes sense?
Just look at all the state roads around town that have been in need of repair for EVER. Like Rt-107, but because the race track brings in sooo much money they pave a perfectly good 106 instead.
They do what they want to do not whats right or makes sense,but then again they are state agencys and union workers, that makes them usless time two.

I'm with Chip and McD on this one. I never understood why a third lane was not part of the project the last time the whole Concord section was redone 10 or so years ago. Clearly putting more traffic through the tolls is only going to make the bottleneck in Concord worse.
