The existing Pitt River swing bridges on Highway 7 (connecting Pitt These improvements will help create a comprehensive, effective Meadows to Port Coquitlam) are heavily congested during peak travel transportation network that supports improved movement of people and periods. The volume of daily traffic over the bridges has nearly tripled goods. This network will, in turn, facilitate economic growth, increased from 27,000 to 78,000 between 1985 and 2003, and is expected to reach transportation choice and better connections to designated population 88,000 in 2007. With construction of TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge, peak growth areas. hour traffic in the already strained single-lane direction of the Pitt River bridges’ counterflow system is expected to increase by 20% to 30%, The Gateway Program includes the Port Mann/Highway 1, South Fraser significantly adding to congestion and delays if a new Pitt River Bridge is Perimeter Road and North Fraser Perimeter Road (NFPR) projects. The Pitt not in service. River Bridge and Mary Hill Interchange project is part of the NFPR. Construction of a new high-level bridge (with up to 16m clearance above The Pitt River Bridge and Mary Hill Interchange project is comprised high tide) and a new interchange at the west end of the bridge, where of a new bridge to replace the two existing swing bridges and an the Lougheed Highway and Mary Hill Bypass meet, will improve travel interchange to replace the existing intersection at Lougheed Highway times and safety, and eliminate unexpected closures for all users, including and Mary Hill Bypass. The project is the first of the Gateway Program goods movers, transit and cyclists. The high-level clearance will allow projects to proceed. marine traffic to pass uninterrupted. GATEWAY PROGRAM GOALS The new bridge and interchange will be completed by November 2009. Improving roads and bridges for people, goods and transit, Gateway Program benefits include: GOALS FOR THE PITT RIVER BRIDGE AND MARY HILL INTERCHANGE • Improve reliability of the Pitt River crossing for vehicle and marine traffic • Addressing congestion • Provide capacity to serve the needs of growing municipalities • Improving the movement of people and goods in and through the region • Improve safety along a key goods movement and commuting corridor • Improving access to key economic gateways • Enhance the shoreline and the aquatic and riparian environments. • Improving the regional road network BENEFITS OF THE PITT RIVER BRIDGE AND MARY HILL INTERCHANGE • Improving quality of life The new bridge and interchange will create lasting improvements that • Reducing congestion-related idling emissions provide multiple benefits to the movements of people, goods and transit. These benefits include: • Facilitating better connections Safety – The new bridge and interchange will increase safety as a result • Reducing travel times of higher design standards, the elimination of a major intersection and • Improving safety and reliability the counter-flow system, and the provision of a dedicated pedestrian and cyclist pathway. The new bridge also enhances safety and reliability for marine navigation. 2 What we heard and how we responded PITT RIVER BRIDGE / MARY HILL INTERCHANGE PROJECT Reliability – Replacement of the two existing swing bridges will help PRE-DESIGN CONSULTATION: ensure a continuous free flow of traffic over the Pitt River.

Vasquez1,2, Kara I. Hurtig1, Matt S. Gellis1, Andre Zimmerman1, Bruce W. Walsh1. 1 Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Ltd. (NHC), North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT The construction of complex bridge piers in large sand-bed rivers has become increasingly common. These piers are made by driving or boring a group of piles deep into the riverbed and then connecting them by a pile cap on top, over which the stem of the pier supporting the deck is located. In contrast with conventional footings, the pile cap is located high above the riverbed and close to the water surface, functioning also as protection against ship collision. The combination of several piles, pile cap and stem above the riverbed gives the pier a complex geometry, which does not easily fit with the simple geometry commonly assumed by most scour prediction equations; hence the need for mobile-bed physical modelling in order to determine scour depths for design purposes. We report the results of several complex piers scour experiments carried out at Northwest Hydraulic Consultants’ laboratory including the Golden Ears Bridge, Port Mann Bridge and Pattullo Bridge in the Fraser River, British Columbia and the Padma River Bridge in Bangladesh. These pier tests encompass a wide range of conditions such as vertical and inclined piles (diameters from 1.8 to 3.0 m), rectangular, octagonal and dumbbell-shaped pile caps (pile cap lengths between 18 and 60 m), and flow discharges ranging from 2-year to 100-year floods.

Despite having a significantly smaller metropolitan population than the Vancouver area, the Portland area was found to have significantly more bridges (60% more) and significantly more bridge lanes (75% more) crossing the Willamette River than the Vancouver area has crossing the Fraser River. Now, with our current study, “Bridging the Infrastructure Gap,” we have examined bridge infrastructure in four major western Canadian cities (Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Saskatoon) to see how well served these cities are compared to the Vancouver area.
