https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/93/Harbour_Bridge_looking_South_%2814039660121%29.jpg Wow, originally with 6 lanes & 4 sets of tracks. The Burrard_Bridge in Vancouver, BC was designed to have 6 lanes & a lower level for streetcars or tram-trains. No trams on the non-existent lower level, as Vancouver wants to be one of the last cities to bring back its trams. Unlike NSW, BC seems to have a problem with allowing trains on road bridges in the 21st century.

It's no wonder that such a wide & magnificent bridge from the 1930s would instantly become a fantastic NSW landmark & an Australian icon. Unfortunatly, it looks like Canada won't have a bridge of a similar magnitude by the 2030s. The 4 lane Pattullo+Bridge in BC is less than half its width & only has 1 sidewalk & never had any provision for trains. Its replacement will only open with 4 lanes & no HOV or bus lanes. Thus, its a pale imitation to the 8 lane Anzac_Bridge.

Hopewell Centre (Hong Kong)

(1,190,000 sq ft)
"The building uses a circular floor plan. Although the front entrance is on the 'ground floor', commuters are taken through a set of escalators to the 3rd floor lift lobby. Hopewell Centre stands on the slope of a hill so steep that the building has its back entrance on the 17th floor towards Kennedy Road."

Vancouver, NW and BCER history

If only Vancouver wasn't too quick to get rid of its streetcars & tram,trains in the 1950s.

However, there was just too much of a mentality to make sure that Vancouver be a perpetually stunted or thwarted city, when compared to what Melbourne, SF & Toronto can do.

NW was a provincial capital backwater & then it just continued with its small city mentality. Despite Surrey eventually becoming the largest city in backward BC, NW hardly has any bridges connecting to it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Bridge#/media/File:A2004-002-3630-steel-bridge-18901.jpg It was as if Portland first built this single track bridge to the provincial backwater NW standard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Bridge#/media/File:Amtrak_talgo_train_crossing_steel_bridge.jpg Then by 1912, a double track bridge more appropriate to Portland's standards opened.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Westminster_Bridge#/media/File:New_Westminster_Swing_Bridge.jpg Of course NW was still stuck with its narrow backwarter single track bridge.

Brightwater conveyance tunnel plan

http://memorieshop.com/Seattle/Brightwater/index.html

The second Herrenknecht machine (BT2), excavating the eastbound drive to the North Creek shaft and pump station, has been shut down since mid-December for extensive wear repairs to the cutterhead. With work being done under air pressure of up to 4.4 bar, compressed air maintenance crews work for 45 minutes only, followed by three hours of decompression. The machine is about 6,500ft (2,000m) into its 11,600ft (3.5km) drive.
