If the fact that halving the lane capacity doesn't snarl traffic at the Main & King bridges doesn't show something very important about traffic across the city, then what would? It's a bottleneck. For nearly the entire length of these roads, there are multiple alternatives - from smaller roads like Jackson to major arteries like Cannon. For the bridges, there's only Aberdeen and the York bridge, and neither are a very direct route.

As for bikes, this makes these bridges all the more crucial. We can't just ride on side streets across the highway.

"Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century." — Lewis Mumford
