Personally I think replacement Pattullo and train bridge should be separate. I also call into question the notion that a rail crossing should even be where it is now. Why can't the crossing be further up or down stream? For example crossing at Coquitlam, or crossing West either at the tip of Annacis Island or by the AFB. There is a rail line that crosses from Annacis over to the Queensborough peninsula, then again at Quayside Drive to New West.

They've now shut down elevator road to the SFPR so why not re-do that area and have a new raise/swing crossing at Elevator Road across to Annacis Island to meet up with the crossing through to Quayside.

You could then not only completely get rid of the bridge at the Pattullo but on the Surrey Side you could get rid of all the raised approaches going each direction and better develop the land down there across from New Westminster.

Just my thought.
