Here is my idea for strengthening the beams prior to installing the new subfloor. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions.

New 2x4's will be added to the top (with a slot cut to slide onto the beam).
Plywood "bridge supports" will be added directly below the 2x4s extending beyond the cut area.
2x4 cross members will be added between each beam for extra rigidity.

Front view and side view of proposed plan:


Have you talked to an engineer about this?
