It is a shame, I much prefer 2 lane roads, like the current I-81, or the BW
parkway.

They can build their own roads (and bridges and tunnels) alongside the
railroad tracks.  :)

At the very least, the truck companies could build (pay for) and maintain
(pour money into) this new lane on I-81.

In all fairness though, I'm sure that at least some of the additional
traffic is due to cars.

In the future, I would like to see a greater separation of non-commercial
and commercial interstate road transportation, the way that the rails
already are.

fyi, I used to live near the Susquehanna River (at the top of the
Chesapeake Bay) where there is one bridge each for US Rt 40, I-95, Amtrak,
and CSX all within sight of each other.
