Traffic through the neighborhood, which is already a problem especially on Lincoln Ave., will only get much worse. It is estimated that up to 7,000 more cars per day will need to use Embarcadero that currently use Churchill.
Some traffic that currently uses Churchill to travel between Embarcadero and Alma will be diverted to the Embarcadero/Alma intersection. This is a small percentage of the traffic using the Churchill crossing.
No traffic impacts are expected since the viaduct preserves current uses of the Churchill crossing.
