Samuel-De Champlain Bridge in Montreal

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel-De_Champlain_Bridge 8 lanes with 2 REM tracks in the middle.

https://www.samueldechamplainbridge.ca Unfortunatly, such a nice wide highway and train bridge isn't allowed in Vancouver, or anywhere in backwards BC.

While the scale of Montreal has been kept small when compared to Toronto and Melbourne, it's still allowed to function like a proper BIG city. Fortunately, Montreal was never affected by anything like the Vancouver Mind Virus. Just imagine the urban chaos if Montreal had to deal with a 3 lane Lion Bridge and a Canada Line that's only running 2 car trains.

"Up until the completion of the Red Line's Fish Creek–Lacombe station, all platforms for the CTrain were originally designed to service three-car trains, although there had been enough space allotted to allow four-car trains. Beginning in 2007 construction on station platforms began to expand the entire network to allow four-car trains, with the project being completed in 2017..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Line_(Calgary)#Capacity_upgrade
