On-Cape travel all crosses the "new" bridge. Off-Cape crosses the old bridge. Won't be any worse than it is now. In fact, it'll be better because all 4 lanes of the old bridge will carry off-Cape traffic, not just two. They can make the first lane a dedicated merge lane from traffic coming off 6A, too. That merge now causes a lot of the Rte 6 back-ups coming off-Cape.
It's going to create a bottleneck the other way when the traffic coming down 3, and the traffic coming off the new "connector" funnels down to 2 lanes past Market basket, but it may eliminate the back-ups on 3 to past Cedarville.
