Old (ish) news, but here's a nice overhead rendering of the new Cape Horn interchange ...

I find it easy to stare at this for hours on end, studying how it works.

As YF was saying back on post #516, there's plans for a new Pattullo bridge sometime in the future. Here are some Options on where the bridge will be located, and how the surrounding roads will be improved.

Currently, the project is in Development. The bridge is expected to open in 2018.

Thanks for the links. I like the option A and it'd be good with either up or down stream.

I think that the upstream option will be better because they said that there could be some environmental issues on the downstream side involving that park near Surrey.

I actually prefer the new bridge will move further upstream so that it will connect to highway one but it ain't gonna happen.

As you may be able to notice, I've recently taken an interest in this project.

I found another cool thing on the Port Mann/ Highway 1 improvement project website. If you go there and click In your community / Vancouver/burnaby / project designs you'll find some very informative maps. I spend hours studying the new interchanges, lanes, etc.
