The Iron Bridge and the old Champlain Bridge
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironworkers_Memorial_Second_Narrows_Crossing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champlain_Bridge_(Montreal,_1962-2019) Both became classic 6 lane bottlenecks or chokepoints. That's because more than 6 lanes of traffic connected to such bridges.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel-De_Champlain_Bridge An 8 lane bridge with 2 REM tracks. While I would like it to have been 10 or 12 lanes with 4 tracks, its still so much better than what backwards Vancouver would allow. 8 lanes plus 2 HOV lanes & 2 bus lanes, because the REM train isn't running 24 hours.
The+Lion+Bridge+and+The+Iron+Bridge are just too inadequate to be modern transportation crossings.
The inept Lion_Bridge should have had bus & train tunnels built next to it decades ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions_Gate_Bridge An 8 lane road tunnel could allow the Lions-Gate-Bridge to become a foot & bike crossing, but that's what a proper big city would do.
