The North Split recently reopened after a nearly 2-year closure. The $350 million project replaced more than 40 bridges, replaced deteriorating pavement and eliminated dangerous weaving patterns.
The state claims the North Split project will also improve things for bicycles and pedestrians with wider sidewalks and new lighting. Thousands of trees will also be planted.
