MacDonald Bridge change lane

For the last month or so the left-most change lane on the MacDonald bridge has been closed. This means that if I'm coming down Nantucket in the left lane (faster as this is the "bridge only" lane) I am forced to merge back into the right lane to cross the bridge. This unnecessarily makes an already crappy traffic situation much worse. Anyone know why this lane has been closed for so long?

PS - The reason I don't use the mac pass is because I prefer to minimize the amount of invisible forces sucking $ off my credit card. Also I sometimes park in a certain D-town neighborhood where people have actually stolen inspection stickers from cars.
