An 8 lane bridge (2 general purpose each way, 1 HOV / Bus lane each way, and 1 add / drop lane each way) with wide separated sidewalks for pedestrians and bikes is the best way to go for this replacement.

There is no excuse for the region's primary north/south route to funnel onto a four lane bridge that instantly becomes an arterial road full of stop lights. The problem is way beyond the George Massey tunnel
