yes, take another look @2:21, and check out some of the older bridges around the world as well as the newer bridges in Asia that are just a bridge like the knight st. bridge or Oak st. bridge...nothing extra fancy about them and yet they'll take you across the Fraser river or the Ganges river tHE NEW pORT mANN CAME WITH AN ADDED PRICE CAUSE IT'S EXTRA FANCY, nothing like the Knight st. bridge which was built on a budget.
Now lets have the facts and figures when it comes to taking down the older Port Mann bridge incl clean upof the surrounding landscape???WHAT IS THE COST? I always believed there was nothjing wrong with the older bridge which is newer than San-Fransicos Golden Gate Bridge & yet do they talk about taking the bridge down/No. Friends from Frisco were surprized that a 5 lane bridge as old as it isn't, is to be taken down without it first bein twin'd and put to further use.....dissappointing.
That's a lie. There are several Asian bridges that are as "fancy" as the port mann that I found just by using google images. Don't forget that a lot of their money goes towards building pointless 500 meter tall buildings. Bridges like Knight and Oak are less fancy because they don't have and ships that are too large going under them. Bridges like Alex Fraser, Patullo, and Port Mann need to have a higher elevation and wider gap to allow large ships to pass through.

The cost can't be calculated by just money. Without this bridge a lot of my activity just cant happen.
