That was considered, of course.
As I explained earlier, the bridge continues to be heavily used. Trucking and vehicles contribute about 20% of the load on the bridge. The load is high and the deterioration continues. Continuing to invest in inspection, equipment and security measures generates significant costs for that type of infrastructure.
Just next to the Champlain Bridge, there is the ice control structure, which has a bicycle and pedestrian path. That path has a view of the new bridge and can be used very well. There was equipment around the bridge to meet that need and eliminate the risk of the Champlain Bridge.
