The city has unveiled a proposed bridge to carry the Metro Line LRT extension north, just ahead of a council vote on the project next month. The design plans for the Metro Line Northwest LRT extension were on display at the Spruce Avenue community league hall on Thursday night. Nat Alampi, director of LRT infrastructure delivery, said the new Walterdale bridge could fit between each tower of the proposed cable-stayed Metro Line LRT bridge. The plans for the Metro Line LRT include trenching the line at the intersection of 137th Avenue and Castle Downs Road. A trenched option at the intersection could have cost as much as $250 million, adding 500 metres of tunnel and redirecting a major sanitary line, Alampi said.
