The funny thing is there is not a lot of traffic now. I think maybe it’s for truck traffic by having a third lane. The population in Allentown is increasing because everyone is moving from NYC and maybe they’re predicting more travel to Philly, but mass transit would’ve been better.

Pretty much the textbook definition of induced demand. The extra lane will speed it up and the road between will become an absolute traffic nightmare in a couple years. Really sad watching habit keep us making the same mistakes over and over again.
