I am a blue collar level construction person and I know what it's like to be stalled by administration and waiting for architects. The paperwork alone can take months to be signed of by the upper echelons. Should this not be an emergency? The people of Prince Albert and the northern communities deserve expedience and a good use of their tax dollars, Lord knows we all pay enough taxes to keep the upper echelons in their comfy chairs.

I hope DofH builds one a few miies east of the city.

connecting Hwy11 with Hwy55 and the Tote Road.

that is the ONLY option that makes sense. And takes the Dangerous Goods Route out of the city

Tonight they announced that IF the NDP are elected Prince Albert will get a new bridge, so what does that mean if they dont get in we wont get a new bridge? Our best bet is if all parties make this an election promise.

Unfortunately this is far beyond an Election issue

and if the parties make it an issue, that will just divert from the other important issues.

the bridge up here is a basic necessity cause the ferries don't run all year round.

we NEEDED a second bridge long before we needed Highway 11 twinned

We have needed a bridge for 30+ years and the NDP, Coservatives and now the Sask Party have been in office over that time period. So yes we need one now and yes the polititions are going to make promises of one but Link should not be promising federal money until he has the check in hand. The city of PA learned that lesson on an intersection upgrade just recently. As for Furber he has a big yap but has he done anything for PA over the last 4 years? All he does is complain but I have not heard a single viable solution to any issue come from his mouth. Irregardless of which party he runs under we do not need a complainer representing us. We need solutions to problems not complaints and the NDP should offer us a better candidate to vote for!

There was a bridge proposal for pa back in the 70's I beleave the second bridge was supposed to go on 6th ave where that big opening it on the river bank and it makes sence because its in the city and 6th ave is a two lane doubled avenue leading out of town there's lots of bridges like that in stoon

from what I was told was that 6th Ave river crossing was no good, as it was too deep with sand before you hit bedrock. Feet measured in hundrends.

15th St was better.

But now, it has to be outside the city to act as a dangerous goods route. Crossing the river near the pulp mill, joining up with the Tote Road. That would make a nice loop around the city, and have the Major routes covered

6th avenue would put the dangerous goods route right past carlton and still running right through town. Put the bridge out of town either east or west and make it into a bypass for heavy trucks and campers and all the other vehicals that never stop in town anyways.

that guy: I think you are correct, and I was wrong..... 15th street has the deep sand, and 6th was more appropriate.

but that was back before the city grew so much to the East

Yes lets move the bridge out of the city i'm sure that will make all the businesses happy,they are haveing a hard enough time as it is.

cc: the current bridge will feed traffic into the busilness area.
a bridge outside the city will route the big stuff that doesn't stop anyways
