For the expanded crossing, I've always thought that we should just build a 2-laned bridge for buses ONLY and keep the tunnel. Given the frequency of 601, 620 and 351 (8 buses per hour midday, many per hour during rush hour), it should be worth.
On an unrelated note, I've always thought that allowing the trucks to access 99 from Rice Mill Road and vice versa will at least take some pressure off the interchange at Steveston Highway. I still remember the time when I was on the 401 heading to Silvercity and the driver complained that trucks jammed the intersection at Five Road and Steveston Highway really badly.
Update: Oops I just realized I didn't read everybody's comment here. Tbh I don't mind a replacement bridge as long as tankers don't come in. Environmental concerns have been around for a while.
