The eastbound lanes of the new bridge will open in about a week, and the bridge should be fully open in December.
One of the original plans was to twin the existing bridge, but because of the old bridge's age, maintenance costs are rising rapidly. Keeping it would mean ongoing maintenance costs... plus if you look at the construction of the new span, two of the westbound lanes have to go right where the old bridge is now - the old one will need to be torn down before those final lanes on the new one can be completed.
And yes, they use cameras to capture your plate so they can send you a bill. Same as with the Golden Ears:
