If the middle lane is closed, we will all be forced to drive at the speed of the slowest vehicle. That is my point.

maybe on a nice sunny, dry day traffic can move 20kph above limit, but I was referring to weather conditions during when this accident happened. I'd happily drive at limit in those condition in the right lane...and well if it's a stretch of one lane each way...like I said you should've left a few minutes earlier for work.

The optimized flow of traffic depends on faster vehicles being able to get around slower vehicles. Hogging the fast lane. Suboptimal. Driving next to another car on a 2 lane road. Suboptimal. Closing the middle lane of a perfectly safe bridge. Suboptimal.
