The new Evergreen+Point+Floating+Bridge is certainly an improvement over the old bridge.

https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/eight-lanes-for-the-520-bridge The 520 Bridge should have been designed to eventually have 8 lanes. Then in addition to having 2 general lanes each way, there not only could have been the 2 HOV lanes, but also 2 bus lanes.

At this point of the bridge is a remnant of what could have been an 8 lane section. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Evergreen+Point+Floating+Bridge

The William_R._Bennett_Bridge in Kelowna should have been designed to eventually have 6 lanes, plus 2 bus lanes, with a long-term provision for 2 Tram-Train or LRT tracks.

The sidewalk could be reconfigured into a 6th lane, but only if a bus, bike & train bridge was built next to it. Thus, this remains as another incomplete BC transportation crossing. A parallel bus & bike bridge would also have 2 footpaths & even 2 HOV lanes. Eventually, there should be something like a CTrain or G:link connecting Vernon, KELOWNA and Penticton. Unfortunatly, BC seems to want to excel in congestion planning.

Somehow Australia is able to put more funding into building better infrastructure.
