Ur right, I just checked the bike map, I thought it was a dashed line (which meant cautionary route) but it's actually a dotted line right after the merge, which is a "preferred route - sufficient width and/or light traffic."
4 lanes of 40+mph traffic with no shoulder to bike on is hardly sufficient width for a bike nor light traffic.
