Re: Build bridge for others, but let's keep tunnel in play for South Delta drivers, letter to the editor, Jan. 11
Thank you to Carol Day for her words of wisdom, however, the George Massey Tunnel replacement - "The Bridge" - is already mandated, decided and a go, thus allowing much larger ships to navigate the Fraser River.
Currently, the tunnel sits too high and limits the size of ships. "The Bridge" replacement affords a much deeper Fraser River channel for the likes of Panamax-size ships, so named for the maximum allowable to ply the Panama Canal.
"The Bridge" will be another Alex Fraser, or another Port Mann, and I will lay bets it will cross somewhere around the north end of 62B Street, with Richmond's connection around No. 6 Road.
