Bridge to Bowen now official

 
Here is the artists rendering of the design for the new bridge to Bowen Island.  The bridge is being called the Union Bridge in honour of the historical legacy Union Steamship Company and the union of Bowen with the mainland.

Looks like our ferry woes will be finally resolved!

Thanks to Nat for breaking the news.

  1. Awesome. Love the artist's rendering...that thing would be what, half a kilometer above the water?

  2. Yeah it's tricky...there is shipping traffic up to Squamish, so the bridge has to high enough for ocean going vessels to get under at high tide. Fortunately it's so high that our view won't be impacted...we just see under it.

  3. Is it coming into Dorman Point? That makes sense.

    Oh wait, isn't there a heron nest up there?!
