I think they're going to lift the while damn span off in one go, maybe using one of those huge barge cranes. Unless anyone else knows (or can think of) why they have attached what appear to be lifting points.

Take this with a grain of salt since I don't know how much truth there is in this rumour, but I heard that there's actually train or sky train tracks built onto the Port Mann bridge and they just haven't told the public about it yet. Would be interesting to see. Wonder if its possibly built onto new bridge? Or maybe keeping the old bridge? Or is that confirmed that it will be removed?
Saw some unknown boards or tracks or something on the old Port Mann bridge, if you look at the old bridge going down Johnson Hill westbound.
