Then like most building lighting features it doesn't work in 6 months, and nobody wants to spend money to fix it.

I still with Port Mann would have a LED lighting on it.
I wish the port Mann would have ANY sort of lights on it. There are none. The towers are completely black at night. All you can see are red beacons flashing. The government cheaps out in every way possible so I can pretty much guarantee the new patullo will have absolutely no lightning on it as well

The new bay bridge in San Francisco comes to mind. Even just spot lights lighting up the towers would be nice, but again, doubtful.

Yep, Canada and BC in general is odd in how we don’t celebrate our infrastructure, instead we try to hide it from sight?at any opportunity (as long as that doesn’t cost money, then the answer is don’t build anything at all…)

BC for sure. But not all of Canada. The new Champlain bridge in Montreal looks fantastic all lit up at night.

From Surrey side
Main in-river tower/pier is approximately 50% tall relative to the current Patullo bridge roadway height.

Your link is bad, Twitter doesn't allow you to embed images offsite.

Can find the image here:
