Governments Break Ground on First Gateway Project
February 9 – Premier Gordon Campbell and Transportation Minister Kevin Falcon take questions from the media at the ground breaking ceremony for the new seven lane bridge and interchange to be built across the Pitt River. This is the first provincial Gateway Program project to begin construction. Vehicle traffic has tripled since 1985. The cable-stayed bridge design will significantly reduce traffic congestion and delays as well as reducing interference with marine traffic.
