Forget the Malahat, build a bridge

Re: “$8M Malahat upgrade not enough, critics say,” Jan. 13.

 

Not enough? Time to start putting that money into a bridge from Mill Bay or Bamberton over Saanich Inlet to connect to Mount Newton Cross Road.

Think of all the traffic that would be diverted from the Malahat “scenic drive,” which was never designed to be a super-highway. All those trucks could head right across Saanich Inlet to the airport, ferry or Victoria, saving time and money.
