I'm looking forward to the gaggles of bridge fans blocking the bridge while they take pictures of the new, gleaming, tension cables and stanchions.


Yes, there truly is no pleasing me.

I'd rather do the Tic Tok thing with the jump cut where everyone vanishes.

How thick is that sheet metal on the bottom? Will it get dented when it's eventually kicked?

They are the same covers that were on before, I think they gave them a fresh coat of paint:

Ah perfect then. The mesh looked a bit flimsy to me, but if it worked before...

As a daily user and full supporter of the bridge this comment was under appreciated.

The fit and finish of the railing replacement leaves a bit to be desired IMO. Not unlike all the other maintenance projects on the bridge.

Bitching about the Peace Bridge has essentially become a part of being a Calgarian. Its like a rite of passage or something.

You can hate the bridge or love it, doesnt matter, we shall complain about the bridge!

The bridge has grown on me. I like the new barrier better than the original.

I still think they should detach it and float it out to sea.

And I like it too.

So, about the new cable railings on the Peace bridge? Yeah, we've got some love locks on them already. Wonder what the city will do?

Heck I didn't even think about it and I've been to places with the love lock bridges. Riding on it this morning I look to my right and see about 5-6 at least.
