Off track 140
Esquimalt Rd., at the approach to the Johnson St. Bridge into Victoria, BC.
Costing for the bridge replacement project was first complicated by disparate elements aimed at taking advantage of the new crossing to address other transportation challenges.
The awkward curve from the bridge underneath the rail line to routes west of the bridge generated numbers of accidents that cost the public insurer no small change and had traumatic and sometimes tragic consequences for road users.
The equally ungainly access to the roadway from off-road trails alongside the railway and the nearby Galloping Goose were also targeted for improvement as part of the new road layout beyond the edge of the bridge project.
For taxpayers and insurance policy holders, the newly aligned road should return positive net benefits in collision reductions earned in reduced costs and liability exposures.
