Powell Street Overpass Project to Ease Commuter Traffic

Vancouver’s Powell Street, a popular dowtown connector used by some 30,000 commuters each day is being closed for a year to make way for a new overpass acommodating 4 vehicle lanes, a cycling lane, expanded sidewalks, and a new rail line. The $50 million project is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2014.  The overpass joins the ranks of other major projects in the city including the recently announced $360 million Vancouver Trump Tower.
