I doubt it. What else would need to be upgraded on 50th Street anyway?

A bridge for cars, buses, cyclists and pedestrians over the river would be nice.

Are all the new forum members time travellers from the 1960s or something?

That 50th Street crossing has been dead for far longer than I've been alive. There is already a pedestrian bridge there.

50 st. over the river would create a path between the manning fwy all the way down to the town of beaumont and beyond. currently you have to chose either 75 st.(WG drive) or 17th st/cloverbar bridge for a N-S connection.

not an bad idea.

My Grandpops used to tell me stories in the 70's and very early 80's - about how the "Capilano Bridge should have been off of 50th and not 75th..."

I remember reading about it and hearing my dad talking, talked about 75th street being sold out, would have been the same on 50th north of 101st...

I drove by a few days ago and it looks like the piers for the 50 Street Southbound section are coming along.

Looking south at the overpass and construction site. Looks like they've begun building up the second half of the hill.

The girders are up on the southbound section of 50 Street:

Gawd1 Is it me or does that entire side look like it's about to collapse? Every time I drive up the overpass - I count my lucky stars I make it to the other side. I presume they are going to butt up right against it the land mass for the southbound lanes?

bucket brigade to fill the southbound portion is underway.
