The sky (bridge) is falling

Sources in New Westminster say big chunks of concrete have recently been falling from the SkyTrain SkyBridge that crosses the Fraser River between New Westminster and Surrey. Consultants have reportedly been out to assess the problem which appears to be fairly serious.

There’s a possibility that scaffolding could be put in place to protect people and vehicles passing underneath the SkyBridge.

There is even talk, apparently, of bringing in a barge with a crane to prop the bridge up if it is indeed failing for some reason.

We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
