Just the northbound (Outer Loop) side is being shifted this weekend.
All 3 lanes will be open on the southbound (Inner Loop) side.

Agree. I think that both 295 and 395 need to be widened. Also, 395 needs
to be modified so that we can drive straight East/West through the city to,
say, a juncture with Route 50.

Just my opinion...
