Instead, a roughly seven-year programme was proposed: in years 1 and 2, all lanes would be open; in year 3, all lanes would be open for 26 weeks, but one lane would be closed for 26 weeks; year 4 would be the same as year 3; in year 5, all lanes would be open for 46 weeks; in year 6, all lanes would be open for 32 weeks; in year 7, all lanes would be open for 26 weeks, but two lanes would be closed for 26 weeks—that would be the worst year; in year 8, all lanes would be open for 39 weeks; and in year 9, all lanes would be open for 45 weeks.
