Nothing like a narrow bridge with narrow emegency lanes. https://x.com/LucasGates92/status/1877021160992321586

So many Greater Vancouver bridges need to be twinned or duplicated in order to provide bus & emergency lanes or even truck lanes. This cramming everything into only 2 lanes each way is nuts!

While not running a freeway through a dense urban area such as Vancouver has its benefits, the bridge crossings still need to be widened. Otherwise, why even bother to pretend to have a proper express or rapid bus network?
