And it sure as hell wouldn’t have been 11billion!!
That’s right, rumored price tag is now 11 billion for no new interchanges and roughly 2km of tunnel / upgraded highway. (For reference the original plan had 30km of highway upgrades, major interchange rebuilds, median bus lane with direct bus only grade separated ramps, ahhh, you know the story
Just pull the plug and dust off the old documents and build the bridge for an inflated 5 billion, then use the remaining 6 billion for other highway upgrades around the province. Maybe a couple interchange conversions on the SFPR, a couple long promised interchanges in Kelowna, and interchange or two on the 17 through Sannich and Victoria, and maybe some highway 1 twinning.
