We got a similar issue in Boston - the Storrow bridge. So much so we call it "getting Storrowed"[0] [0] https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2021/08/19/bosto

  The wonderful thing about Storrow Drive—it’s a MAJOR ARTERY that is integral to traffic flow in downtown Boston. Since Boston has so many students, September 1st is like an informal holiday[^1] where we wait for newcomers to Storrow their U-Hauls. [^1]: actually one of two September 1 holidays observed. The other is “Allston Christmas,” when the streets of a popular student neighborhood are filled with free furniture people tossed out when they moved.

  Fun fact! The namesake of Storrow Drive was "an investment banker who led a campaign to create the Charles River Basin and preserve and improve the riverbanks as a public park. He had never advocated a parkway beside the river, and Helen Storrow, his widow, publicly opposed it" It's one of the urban highways that can absolutely go, and should.
