I must say after living in Pitt Meadows /Maple Ridge for 29 years, I'm thrilled that the Golden Ears Bridge is finally a reality! My husband has been commuting to North Surrey for 17 years , took his first trip over the bridge to work on Tuesday the 16th, and it has cut his commute from 50 minutes or more if any accidents, down to 25 minutes! Hooray! Now just waiting for the finale, the opening of the new Pitt River Bridge!
