Go where?

excuse me? you'd tear down a Vancouver landmark? a part of our history? hell, for that matter, you'd get rid of one of two links to the North Shore? are you f**king kidding me?

someone here has never been to North or West Vancouver in his life if this is how he thinks.

That would leave one bridge and the SeaBus connecting Vancouver to the North Shore

Jacknife Bascule Bridge, from 1913 to 2002 the only way to access the Kam Delta Islands. Vehicular traffic now uses a larger bridge near the waterfront, this one is for rail traffic only. The road deck was dismantled in 2004. It is one of the largest bascule bridges in the world.

James Street Swing Bridge, one of the oldest in the city.

Black Bay Bridge, built in 1913, the longest reinforced concrete bridge in the world. (Or so the city claims. It was the longest when built, I don't know if a longer one has been built.)

Canada's longest suspension footbridge. 600 feet long, 150 feet to the floor of Eagle Canyon. Located northeast of Thunder Bay.

Island Drive Bridge, which has connected the Kam Delta Islands to Thunder Bay since 2002. It is the longest integral abutment bridge in Canada.

That one is really neat...from that angle it looks like the freeway to nowhere.

Like many highways in Montréal ...

Les ponts de Québec


Le Pont Pierre Laporte

This is the Souris Suspension Bridge, Souris, Manitoba. Once claimed to be the longest in Canada but it appears Eagle Canyon/Thunder Bay and possibly others are longer. It's 554' or 584' in length and very bouncy.
Originally built over 100 years ago by the land owner so he could access his land on the other side of the Souris river.

It's long but not nearly as high as Capilano or Eagle Canyon.

how many bridges connect montreal to its suburbs?

[vid]

I counted 16 on my map. There appears to be another planned east of St. Vincent de Paul.

This is probably the smallest suspension bridge in Canada.
And it is the only suspension bridge in Toronto.

The Sewells Road bridge about 10 minutes from Miketoronto's house.
Located in North East Scarborough(Toronto) in the Rouge Park. It is only one lane.

ok, but can someone explain to me the point in a tunnel bridge? is it to keep snow off the tracks or something.
