Pattullo Bridge Rehabilitation Project

[Metro-One]

Considering that it is 6 lanes wide, currently the longest bridge in Metro Van (roughly 3km) and includes quite an extensive expressway with some impressive elevated structures itself the GEB project has always seemed amazingly relatively cheap to me. Quite a deal actually.

With that said, a small part of my brain hopes that one of the reasons why this bridge is 1.5 billion is because instead of a another suspension / cable stayed bridge (don't get me wrong, I do love them!) they will replace it with a new arch bridge? Would be nice for historical sakes to have one major arch bridge structure crossing the Fraser.
