A simple, utilitarian bridge is likely looking at a cost of $20-30 million. Adding another $5-10 million to do something "signature" may be worth it here. It would be neat to replace it with a single-span structure with no piers in the ravine. Perhaps through an arch-structure like St. Catharines or a small Cable-Stay structure or something.

The steel for Burgoyne was fabricated here in Hamilton. Using a local firm would look good on council.
