Grouse and Seymour also exist and are way less terrible in terms of that.

Yeah it’s a BC parks pass. Cypress has the same. It’s free but you have to book online.

Again ... brilliant engineering on the Alex Fraser and Port Mann ... who the hell forgot that ice, slush can build up and need a safe way to eliminate? The P.Eng who signed off on the design should be fired if he hasn't already.

whoever it is ... if it is builder, (I'm sure P. Eng still has to sign off on it being not included in final build) .... he/she/they should be the ones climbing the poles to release those rings to de-ice.
Every year it happens and it just makes my blood boil!

What's more infuriating is that there was no warning at all. They should have signs way before Alex Fraser on ramps to tell people to detour to Hwy 17, the interchange is a good example of where.
Everyone's just waiting on Nordel to get by, as per usual on a stormy day. Just to find out AF is closed.

Be thankful that ice didn't fall onto your new Civic and write it off?  | |

Please tell me that they have explored heat tracing systems. Surely there is tech like that or something else that can solve the corner cutting cheap construction build of the damn bridge

They should have at least thought of ice bombs in the 2000s. Good thing is the cables are on the side vs the port Mann on which the cables cut across the lanes.

It's like the golden ears bridge, they knew about ice bombs, the company that made the bridge had a history of making the same style Bridge with the same ice bomb issue, but they were still like /shrug

Just frustrating that there was no warning at the intersection - I would have just went directly to 17 if I had a warning.

I've only seen a handful in my lifetime.
LOL at reports saying only 4 times in the last two decades.......... try 6 decades.............maybe records don't go past 20 years?

Not only that. It seems I'm seeing MORE people driving around in the dark in the middle of a snowdrift with zero lights on. Holy hell, if there's anything that grinds my gears more ..
