I really hope they plan to make the two lanes different colors or perhaps add some other sort of separator as well. Otherwise I could definitely see it being a bit dangerous if it's not noticeable.

After construction is done, do you think it’s too late to add some sort of lights on the bridges? Is the council in favor of it?
