Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing in Vancouver, BC

The Ironworkers_Memorial_Second_Narrows_Crossing or bridge, had a chance to be designed to be bigger and better in 1958. Unfortunately, it's just a 6 lane bridge, like the old Champlain_Bridge_(Montreal).

Either a new transit bridge with 2 rail rapid transit tracks and 2 bus & 2 HOV lanes should be built beside it, or something like the new Champlain_Bridge_(Montreal)

The Sydney_Harbour_Bridge has 8 lanes, 2 tracks, bike and foot paths.
