Plans are in hand in Canada for a replacement for the Pattullo Bridge. The current bridge link is ageing and a study has discounted a refurbishment of this structure as not being technically feasible. The bridge crosses the Fraser River and it is hoped that the replacement will be ready by 2020. Various alternatives have been evaluated and a new bridge is considered the most likely. The construction of a new six-lane bridge would cost US$1.03 billion. However, the new bridge might feature four lanes in a bid to cut costs. It is not yet clear whether the bridge would be tolled.
