The new US$1.4-billion cable-stayed bridge in Greater Vancouver will be built under a design-build-finance model and consist of four lanes for traffic, as well as pedestrian and cycle lanes. The existing bridge will remain in use with the aid of seismic and wind warning systems until the new link opens in 2023, and its removal will be included as part of the contracted works.
