Beyond that, it's easy enough to include a solution with any potential new crossing.

Just imagine a new bridge at the southern end of Halifax/Dartmouth bringing this line across and over the harbour? It would make the city feel like a major metropolitan city.

I don't even know if I'd feel comfortable with it tbh. I'd have to give it some thought.

They built the Cogswell overpass And people are still talking about it. There will always be the detractors.
