She was one of nine women who have vanished or been murdered along that stretch of highway in the last 16 years. “My heart goes out to all the other families of victims, I know how they feel because I feel a personal pain,” Naziel said. Tamara’s aunt, Gladys Radek, also flew up from Vancouver to accompany Naziel. “I’m going to honour my niece Tamara, I love that girl . she’s my family . we’re going to get some answers, that’s what I feel.” BILL BOEI The highway’s growing reputation also convinced Naziel’s VANCOUVER SUN sister, Betty Joseph, to join her on the walk. “I didn’t want her to be alone,” said Joseph. “I hope just to oncrete will be poured for be with her, support her and help her out.” the first segment of the Prince Rupert Daily News Canada Line tunnel later Cthis week or next week as work on the $2-billion rapid transit project begins to hit its stride. A giant tunnel-boring machine that will burrow under downtown Vancouver from Second Avenue to Waterfront Station is due to arrive this spring and should be in the ground by June. “We’re pretty well into it,” InTransitBC public affairs vice- president Steve Crombie said Mon- day. InTransitBC is the company being used by SNC Lavalin and its partners to build the Canada Line. Concrete forms have been built near 29th Avenue in the massive trench being dug along Cambie Street and the first tunnel segment will be poured “when the time is right and the weather is cooperat- ing,” probably within days, Crom- bie said. When the concrete sets it will shrink slightly and the forms will be pulled forward for the next seg- ment, and so on. The process is called a construction train. At Second Avenue on the west side of the Cambie Street Bridge, “the tunnel entry pit is being exca- vated right now,” Crombie said. “We’re expecting the tunnel-bor- ing machine to arrive here in late April, early May. They’ll finish assembling it and hopefully it will be in the ground by June.” The machine will be assembled on the site and will likely be given PETER BATTISTONI/VANCOUVER SUN a name and christened with a bot- With snow-crusted North Shore Mountains for a tle of champagne before it descends spectacular backdrop, a couple and their dog enjoy the into the hole and starts burrowing northward. sunshine during a walk on one of Richmond’s dikes.

  • 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.
