There’s a little more elbow room for drivers on the Keith Road bridge.
After months of construction, the District of North Vancouver opened up four lanes on the bridge in time for the Thursday evening rush hour. The project is still not complete, however, with the bridge deck not yet paved. The particularly rainy fall prevented work from being done sooner.
The sidewalks are not yet open and neither is the fifth lane, which will be used for vehicles turning south onto Mountain Highway from Keith Road.
Widening the bridge is part of a larger project to revamp all of the interchanges at the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing bridgehead.
Work to replace the Mountain Highway on- and off-ramps and overpass has already begun.
