The Golden Ears Bridge over the Fraser River will connect the eastern suburbs of Vancouver. In the past, commuters either had to make a 30 kilometer detour or cross the river by ferry. The new link will take the pressure off the heavily used bridge closer to the city and reduce travel times substantially. The Golden Ears Crossing is one of the biggest public private partnership projects in Canada. Bilfinger Berger is designing, financing and building the 1,000-meter long bridge together with 12 kilometers of access roads. From 2009 onwards the company will then operate the new link for a period of 32 years in return for a fixed fee. The total investment amounts to € 600 million.
