Queensland vs BC
https://www.google.com/maps/place/18B+Howard+Smith+Dr,+Port+Of+Brisbane
A 6 lane bridge and a rail-bridge with 2 tracks.
Brisbane got it right and Greater Vancouver got it wrong. Both are major Pacific port cities, but the BC version is so watered down.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Iron+Workers+Memorial+Bridge 6 lanes, but should have been 8-10 lanes by now.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Thornton+Tunnel+North+Entrance Its only a single track tunnel and freight train bridge. Any major seaport region should have double track bridges and tunnels.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Riverview+Bridge Its only 4 lanes, but has a potential to become a 6 lane crossing. https://www.pilingcanada.ca/bridging-the-past-into-the-future/
The New_Westminster (rail)_Bridge should have opened with 2 tracks and had enough future width for a 3rd track.

Closures on stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge to impact traffic this weekend for construction
Another classic 4 lane BC bottleneck-chokepoint. No bus lanes, no emergency lanes and no provision for an extra deck to accommodate an LRT crossing.

They should have had a horse and waggon going over the bridge to symbolize the desire by some urban planners to have roads and bridges that aren't much wider than a wagon road.
