But if you could I'd say extend the westbound-bridgeport on ramp to be the 3rd lane (no merge required) and then have a normal merge from the eastbound-bridge port traffic on ramp.
NB expressway already has three lanes under Lancaster: the third is the merge lane from the Lancaster on-ramp. If the ramp were closed, that third lane could be used to continue from the collectors to the Bridgeport exit.
Considering this is always where the worst NB traffic happens, it's probably a good idea!
Related to closing these ramps, I wonder if the Shell station at Lancaster/Bridgeport would stick around if they were removed. It's already in a crappy spot, and taking away some traffic from Lancaster might be a blow to their business. I'm personally a fan of redeveloping gas stations into literally anything else...
