Quick content clarifying the proposal for those who don’t subscribe to the Examiner:
The new bridge would be built immediately to the North of the Mackay, keeping it operational during construction. It’s 6 lanes would be comprised of 4 traffic lanes and 2 bus/HOV/emerg lanes plus AT and pedestrian paths. A shift North can be pretty easily taken in by the Dartmouth approach, but will require an s-bend on the Halifax side. Perhaps that can be ironed out a bit in the Windsor St exchange.
One thing I absolutely want to see is the removal of toll plazas in exchange for a better method. It seems like a lot of the bridge gum-ups stem from trucks, the change line, or just the slow down around the plaza.
