Check out the web for this one..heard on Ch. 12 they are looking at building new bridge to replace current one. Cost less to do this then maintaining it..Sounds like its almost official.

Hi lad: Funny you mention this as I tried to post the story about this from this mornings Gazette, ( I was trying to post in the Yikes thread,.but kept getting that friggin Hmmmmm msg. hahahaha I wonder if this will supercede or put the kybosh on the proposed Galt Av bridge that Guy was mentioning to get over to Nuns Island,........... If you start to see roads & highways & infra structure promises like that ,.then get ready for an election,.as it 's the only time the Gov't spends Our Money on Us.....hahahaha Usually they give it away to other country's where we know it doesn't get to the people either......... here's the story from this morning's Gazette: Officials mull replacing Montreal's Champlain Bridge Elizabeth Thompson, Gazette Ottawa BureauPublished: 1 hour ago OTTAWA - Bridge tolls on the Champlain Bridge eliminated years ago could be back in the future. That is among the scenarios the federal government is envisaging as it examines the prospect of building a new bridge to replacing the Champlain Bridge. According to documents obtained by the Journal de Montreal, officials with the government agency that manages federally-owned bridges have reached the conclusion that it would be cheaper to replace the Champlain Bridge than to keep repairing it. In an interview with RDI, federal Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon confirmed he is seriously looking at the prospect of a new bridge and preparing a presentation to take to cabinet. While no decisions have been taken, Cannon said the project could be built through a public/private partnership which could mean a return of tolls to finance the new bridge Seems like the site is working better now, I think MSN diverts it's resources at times,(why I don't know,) but I'm glad it's working now: HF&RV
