    THE FUTURE OF VANCOUVER’S VIADUCTS Welcome to our information session on the future of Vancouver’s viaducts. Over the past two years City staff have been testing the replacement of the Georgia and Dunsmuir Viaducts. We’d like to share our findings with you and invite you to share your opinion. Why are we here today? Since 2010, City staff have been exploring opportunities to replace the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts with a mostly at-grade street network to allow for a larger Creekside Park, improved walking, cycling, transit, and driving options, a new neighbourhood and housing opportunities on city land. In September 2015, Council will consider whether to move ahead with removing the viaducts. What are we planning?

  • Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation
    Walterdale Bridge Replacement Concept Planning Study and Approach Roads Evaluation Final Report April 2011 4.0 BRIDGE CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT 4.1 INTRODUCTION The new Walterdale Bridge will replace the existing three-span structural steel truss bridge that was constructed in 1912 to 1913 to carry two lanes of roadway traffic and a street railway across the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta. The existing bridge currently carries two lanes of northbound traffic, along with pedestrians and bicyclists on sidewalks on both sides, and a number of utilities across the river. The terms of reference for the "Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation" indicate that the existing structure should be replaced with a functional signature bridge that will form an attractive entrance to downtown Edmonton. The replacement is to have an innovative urban design complementing the "West Rossdale Urban Design Plan", and respecting the aboriginal burial grounds on the north bank of the river. In Phase 1 of the "Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation", we compared signature extradosed, arch and cable-stayed bridge replacement alternatives to a more conventional girder bridge alternative. We developed the conceptual bridge designs for the Base Road Option. The geometry and appearance of the structure will be similar for the East and West Side Road Options. We assumed that the replacement bridge will carry three lanes of northbound traffic and possibly one lane of southbound traffic, in addition to pedestrians, bicyclists and utilities across the river. As the study progressed in Phase 2, a through-arch bridge was selected as the preferred alternative.
