@00dfm00 Good point on the via rail.. why the hell dont they do that..But About the overpass they baukad on that about ten years ago. but They did buy the land all around it to make the clover leaf.. Price then was to be about 12 mill. Now who knows. The little bridge down the way came in at 6 mill if i remember right? still has the orange snow fence along it. But they did a hell of a job on it. looks good
@MrRognuts I've often wondered why, with the existing rail going right through Colwood and Langford, VIA doesn't add an extra couple cars for the daily commuters to & from downtown. I'm sure there's a solid business case for it.
@richandjessieshow I think MrRognuts means Hwy #1. This would have happened if the NDP didn't get into power in central Saanich; since she did, we now nearly have completed a totally useless overpass at the airport instead.
The bridge is being built slightly further from town i.e. next to the old bridge. This will allow for a better approch from West Vic. That accounts for the track being on the other side.
That is one fugly bridge.

How about an over pass at Mckenzie and the highway? Or how about light rail into downtown?
