Why? It's perfectly level - far easier with luggage than if they'd gone the traditional way with ramps. Or the old way where you had to swim.That bridge looks like it would be inconvenient to cross if you are hauling luggage....

There is another entrance into the harbour.The draw bridge planned was also going to be level.
A static bridge with ramps for vehicles would have required a 500m long ramps at a minimum. Those tall-ships and occassional freighter we get are pretty tall.
There is another entrance into the harbour.
Which law would this be ... as I can think of many a port that only has one entrance!And law requires 2 for the same reason that buildings have 2 fire stairwells.

Great question and I can't be specific. I would guess it has to do with the sinking of the Resolute.
Asked the Expo people why they would rebuild that channel and they said the harbour required two exits but it's just as possible it requires 2 entrances for storm reasons.
I will ask the Port Authority why they were trying to build a draw-bridge and did not propose closing the gap.
