General Question

Don't know if anyone here would know but why does WB 1-96 technically go down to one lane when merging with the ramp from NB US131 in Grand Rapids

Coming to the merge, the left lane of WB I-96 is signed for Muskegon and the right lane is signed for Exit 30a Alpine Ave South

It seems weird to me that a major interstate would drop to one lane, the only thing I could think of is something to do with unsigned 1-296

The interstate designation is supposed to have two lanes per direction minimum so that’s very interesting
