Agree that the directional EB on-ramp at bridgeport road needs to be closed, the merge zone is far too short between the Bridgeport on-ramp and Lancaster off-ramp, and the Lancaster ramp is too useful to get rid of because of the downtown-bound traffic.
Getting rid of the directional ramp would necessitate the addition of traffic control or roundabouts at the ramp intersections in order to accomodate left-turning traffic entering the highway, but overall traffic signals would make this section of Bridgeport far safer than it is currently.

The removal of the directional ramp would similarly dovetail nicely into regional plans to put dedicated bike infrastructure on Erb/Bridgeport.
