Yes, much smaller.
It'll be interesting to see what the costs will be like... the new Bourgoyne Bridge went up from an estimate of $59 million in 2010.
I can understand why Metrolinx decided to alter the route over the 403. It'll still be costly for the province to change the 403/Main ramp configurations and do whatever may be needed to beef up the Main St. bridge over the highway, but perhaps that provides more cost certainty (and savings) than the two new bridges under the original plan.
