This location is closer in proximity to Burnaby’s civic precinct on the south side of Highway 1 and the Glencarin Trailhead to the north, and it also carries a lower construction cost due to the raised height of the existing ground at each proposed embankment footprint.
As well, this “Option 1” location has reduced impacts to the environment, private property, and BC Hydro and provincial government infrastructure.
Pedestrian and cyclist bridge overpass location options along Highway 1, linking the Burnaby Lake and Deer Lake areas. Option 1 has been selected as the preferred location. (City of Burnaby)
The municipal government has budgeted up to $20.5 million for the overpass on this eight-lane stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway.
