Interesting to see that even though Mayor Sam was adament that it would be closing and that he told a NDP MLA to shut up or put up... now he is saying

"I have stated emphatically the need to minimize traffic disruption for Winnipeggers"

thats not the way I remember it.. anyone else?

No matter what traffic will be a HUGE problem for many months. I don't know if there is a better answer but I do believe we are paying a huge price for generations of piss-poor maintenance.

That age-old adage is never more true in relation to Winnipeg's infrastructure...

You can pay us now or you can pay us later...

What do you expect with such piss poor traffic planning? I can't believe they're talking about this new bridge having an intended lifespan of 75 years and yet still refuse to widen the new span to 3 lanes in each direction. Absolutely idiotic if you ask me. In 25 years that bridge will be a complete parking lot at rush hours due to the short sightedness of our planners.

Any plns on changing the name of the bridge? Very poor name, completely inappropriate to the area of town it serves!
Any one thought about that?

Making the new bridge 3 lanes would be a complete waste. On the east side of the bridge there are 3 lanes, one is for parking/turning right/buses. One is for turning left and the centre lane is a through lane. If a diamond lane is added through Elmwood as planned 3 lanes would make even less sense.

A three lane bridge is not being considered because there is no need for one. Bulldozing a wider highway through Elmwood so commuters can get to East St. Paul faster ain't gonna happen.
