Please sir......
Can I PAY some more?

Do not worry. Safety is TReO's top priority.

Look for everyone to avoid this bridge during icy conditions.to avoid the deductable on windshield and comphrensive claims. Or will Treo pay fro the deductible?


But, not to worry in the long run. Climate change will eliminate the cold and icy conditios or will it?

Someone should have asked the designer of the Alex Fraser Bridge why two towers were designed into the structure. I guess that was to ensure the support cables do not cross the travelled portion. That way, ice will not fall on cars.


This has to be a major embarrasment to have to close a $3 billion dollar bridge because it wasn't built for our conditions. There is confusion between RCMP and TReO.


Another successful P3 project!!!! "The Bridge to Nowhere." The Port Mann hghway Improvement Project.

Well for all they spent they did not get the optional heated cables.

I suspect that the reason this is happening is because this bridge was not built with heated cables. It would have been common for a bridge in this climate and at this elevation to have heated susension cables to avoid icing. Looks like this was a major engineering woops, and an expensive one to fix now.

insite: When does the propaganda stop? Your quote, "Another Successful P3 project". Exactly what the NDP governments in Manitoba and Nova Scotia do. Premier's Greg Selinger of Manitoba and Darrell Dexter of Nova Scotia, says this is the only way to get the projects completed.

Has anyone ever looked at the record of the construction company?
Do you know they are being sued by the state of Califonia for poor engineer designs on 2 projects?
They have record of taking short cuts.

Oh Joey. Are you out of Valium. It's just terrible what people are saying. Come on. Just imagine. Do you think Kevi "HAIRBOY" Falcon could have known anything about a bridge he approved. Not really his fault. He didn't know anything about health care either. Just about the same result. I think it was "THE TOWN DRUNKS" fault and snoolkums. I know you and I don't know dip sh*t about bridge building but do you think that YOU would be so stupid to have the cable's slanting inwards over the traffic. It appears the kevie was. And don't forget that "THE TOWN DRUNK" said that we had to pay big money to attract the brightest and the best. So where does "HAIR BOY" fit in on this???????????? And just try to think of all this money that we, the little people (TAXPAYERS) have spent for a bridge that can only be used on sunny days in the winter. Thank god that we don't have winters like some parts of Canada.

I find it shocking that with all the money spent and world-class engineers involved with the new Port Mann that no one thought to put a roof on it. These anomalies could have been avoided with a covered bridge as would the need for any snow removal. Moreover, if it had walls it could be air conditioned to provide comfort on those hot days too. A roof top garden would be another plus. Duh. Why don't these educated people know such things? Unbelievable.

Squri:"only toll on Trans Canada Highway in Canada" What about the Confederation bridge to Prince Edward Island. The toll is $44.25 return and was built under a P3 contract.

By: Oh yes, the Town Drunk. NDP premier Dave Barrett. So drunk at the airport and could not even stand up but had his wife to help him make his way home. Nice to see that he got no special treatment at customs when we got home. Treated like everybody else.
By, you seem to be a little hot headed today. The hip pocket does take a kicking this time of year. Relax and take it easy. Mike Farnworth is the NDP'er that takes care of high blood pressure readings,and blown out gaskets.

What a bunch of buffoons, from bridge design to lack of sanding, heads must roll.

What a bunch of buffoons, from bridge designers to road sanding decision makers. Heads must roll.
