Kiewit is liable for damages and what not caused by excessive debris on the road from the construction like mis-pours into dump trucks etc. thats why you rarely see it because the degree that they clean up is pretty good

also of course any bridge like the new span is available for an upgrade in the future to support transit or additional volume. In taking apart the old span as far as i can tell they will probably just take it apart as they built the new span in seperate sections since they have that huge box crane on the coquitlam side of the old span now

As far as i'm concerned the highway project is a complete success even before total completion. Unless you travel the highway everyday and have been before the construction began then you probably dont have an accurate picture when you hop on the new highway and run into random lane closures etc and think "WTFFFF New Highway fail" its pretty amazing how well the traffic flows now. Consistently from the 156th on-ramp i can get to Canada Way/Willingdon in under 20 minutes and to Hastings/Renfrew in under 25, Way better.
