Model Answer

The roads have been widened so much that six lanes of vehicles could be accommodated.

Explanation

"Could" is correct here because it expresses possibility/capacity as a result of the widening. "Will" implies certainty (too strong), and "may" expresses permission or probability, not physical capacity. Examiners expect the modal that best fits the sense of ability/capacity resulting from a condition.
