Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[Canard]

I wonder what timeline there is for the replacement of the Wellington, Frederick and rail bridges. I notice that the new Victoria St. bridge won't have supports in between the collector and express lanes in that area, which makes me wonder if the plan is ultimately to get rid of the express/collector system in that area.

My feeling is that the only reason the express/collector system (is this the only instance in Ontario/Canada of express and collector lanes outside of Toronto?) exists is because of the method of construction o the Victoria and Wellington bridges required supports (couldn't be one wide span), or it wasn't reasonable or was too expensive to go with a continuous span.

So you could very well be right - if the columns aren't there, there really isn't a reason to have the express/collector system.
