Cantilever construction methods using “A” frame pylon design that straddle the existing train tracks, means little or no disruption of activities below the viaduct.  Gardiner commuters would face no delays during construction. When the viaduct is complete, demolition of the elevated Gardiner can begin.

The proposed viaduct will include 8 to 10 lanes for private vehicles (compared to the Gardiner's current 6 lanes), lanes for light rail transit, and panoramic lanes for bicycle traffic and pedestrians.
