With regard to the Pattullo Bridge replacement or rebuild, I would like to offer this idea as a possible solution. The existing Port Mann Bridge could simply be dismantled and relocated to the north side of the existing railway bridge that is next to the existing Pattullo Bridge. Large sections of the bridge including roadway could be barged down the river and repositioned on new foundations. This new location would offer better alignment with existing roads and as opposed to alternative ideas, would also significantly reduce disruption to traffic flow during construction. The Port Mann Bridge has five lanes and has already had some seismic upgrading. Any further upgrading could be done at the time of construction. This bridge is scheduled to be dismantled anyway at significant cost, as it will have to be broken down into pieces small enough that can be trucked away. I’m sure that if the appropriate people were to “do the numbers” on this idea we may find it to be a viable solution that would be far more economical than a new bridge involving tolls and certainly better than refurbishing the existing Pattullo Bridge as it does not have adequate foundations to support any additional weight to the structure. It seems unfortunate enough that we should scrap a perfectly good bridge and build an expensive new one that we will have to pay tolls for, but even more unfortunate that we scrap it when it could be the logical replacement for the Pattullo Bridge.
