Using both lanes and then taking turns is the best use of asphalt, but what happens is people move into the continuing lane early and traffic is creeping and then other cars go whipping by and pulling in at the front making those who are creeping along pissed and then jerks start doing the lane blocking making a bigger mess.

Honestly I don’t know why they close a lane and announce it in advance. I would sign it as two lanes going to one merge at the end. Make both lanes go into the middle of the road then use cones and barricades to direct traffic to the actual side of the road they want you driving on, that way there is no ending lane- they both end and everyone takes turns.
