Port Mann officially widest bridge in the world
The first week of tolling will be free to families and commuters when the new Port Mann Bridge officially opens in December. Transportation Minister Mary Polak made the announcement today at a worker appreciation barbeque that celebrated the Port Mann Bridge's official inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's widest bridge.
The toll-free period will give all drivers - commuters, truckers, families - a chance to use the bridge for free and experience first-hand the time-saving benefits provided by the world's widest bridge.
The event was also an opportunity to confirm the Port Mann Bridge's official entry into the Guinness Book of World Records as the widest bridge in the world. The previous Guinness World Record was held by the 48.8 metre-wide Sydney Harbour Bridge. At 65.06 metres wide, the Port Mann Bridge beats the previous record by 16.26 metres.
Once completed, the new Port Mann Bridge will eliminate the worst traffic bottleneck in British Columbia, reducing commute times by up to 50 per cent and giving drivers as much as an hour per day to spend with their families, friends and other important activities.
