Re: the Nipigon bridge, I really feel the politics of creating a "signature" bridge got in the way of the practicalities of the transportation needs.

Cable-stayed bridge? Sure, it's beautiful. But necessary? Nope.

IMO the best solution was a twin girder-supported bridge. Build the new one, rehab the original, and Bob's your uncle. Make prep for shifting traffic from one to the other at each end. Good to go.
