Project Scope

8

Bridgeport Road to Highway 91

  • 200 lane km of roadway
  • 50 km of new dedicated

transit/HOV lanes

  • Replace 3 interchanges
  • Construct new bridge
  • Replace 5 overpasses
  • Decommission Tunnel

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Major Bridges in the Lower Mainland

3.3 km long 660 m clear span over the Fraser River 200 m high towers Design for future rapid transit

slide-13
SLIDE 13

1 Dedicated transit/HOV lanes 3 Regular traffic lanes

(same as today in rush hour)

1 Lane for slow, merging traffic

Benefits:

  • Improved merging safety
  • Reduced weaving
  • Reduced congestion/increased

reliability

  • Improved emergency response

access

Why Five Lanes in Each Direction?

11

Four lanes in each direction would result in congestion on

  • pening day

50 LANE KILOMETRES OF DEDICATED/MEDIAN TRANSIT LANES

Project Scope – Transit

Dedicated Transit connection between Highway 99 and Bridgeport Canada Line Station Integrated Transit Stop: Steveston Highway Integrated Transit Stop: Highway 17A

RICHMOND DEL DELTA A

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Shell Road

  • Improved access from Odlin Street,

parallel to Highway 99

  • Improved cross Highway 99 access

Westminster Highway

  • Improved cross Highway 99 access

Steveston Highway

  • Improved cross Highway 99 access

(south side only)

  • Access to new crossing from both sides
  • f Highway 99
  • Improved access to Rice Mill Road and

Dyke Trail

  • Access to median transit stop platforms

River Road

  • Access to new crossing from both sides
  • f Highway 99 via River Road and 64th
  • Improved access to Millennium Trail

Project Scope – Cycling and Pedestrian Access

Benefit/Cost Analysis

  • User Benefits:
  • Congestion reduction, travel time savings, improved

reliability, vehicle operating cost savings

  • Traffic safety (35% reduction in collisions)
  • Reduced seismic risk
  • Cyclist/pedestrian, transit, marine traffic

improvements

  • Long-term Economic Benefits

14

Cost: $3.5 billion Benefit/Cost Ratio: 2.1 to 1

Why Tolling?

  • Significant benefits for those using the

new Bridge

  • Allows project to proceed now, without

taking away from government funding for health and education

  • Similar format to Port Mann Bridge
  • Working with federal government on

potential contributions

Anticipated Effects of Tolling New Crossing

16

TUNNEL TODAY

“Rush Hour” (6-8 hours):

  • The Tunnel and Alex Fraser

Bridge (AFB) are heavily congested Midday (6 hours):

  • Tunnel, AFB and Richmond

Connector near congestion; incident sensitive Overnight/Weekends:

  • Free-flowing traffic

WITH A NEW BRIDGE

Rush Hour:

  • New Bridge free-flowing
  • Traffic in queues at AFB will

move to new Bridge Midday:

  • Limited traffic diversion to

AFB due to congestion on East/West Connector Overnight/Weekends:

  • Some traffic diversion to AFB

Environmental Benefits

17

  • Transit enhancements to increase ridership
  • Multi-use pathway to encourage cycling/walking
  • Less idling; reduced GHG emissions
  • Restoring Green Slough to historic alignment
  • Bio-filtration marshes for stormwater

management

  • Environmental enhancements in Deas Slough
  • Improvements to Millennium Trail
slide-20
SLIDE 20

What Happens at the Oak Street Bridge?

  • Morning queues will continue as today; traffic patterns may

change somewhat but no significant change in total traffic

  • 60% of tunnel users end their trip in Richmond
  • Efficiency of Oak Street Bridge will

continue to be governed by traffic lights at 70th Street

  • Traffic volumes on the Oak Street

Bridge have been relatively constant

  • r declining over the past decade

(Canada Line effect)
