SURREY - A new 10-lane Port Mann bridge will be completed by December 2012, one year earlier than first expected, Premier Gordon Campbell announced during a campaign stop at the bridge Friday.
Campbell said the new bridge will help ease congestion in the Lower Mainland.
The capital cost of the bridge is expected to be $2.4 billion.
Campbell had initially said his government was going to build the bridge as a public-private partnership, but the government stepped in to fund the entire deal when it could not reach a deal with private sector investors.
