Switching to a Massey bridge would cause hundreds of millions of dollars to go to waste, experts say, according to a report by the Vancouver Sun.

The warning centres on Lorne Doerkson, the B.C. Conservative premier-designate. Doerkson has promised to reverse the Fraser River tunnel plan, and the experts say he should proceed carefully.

For Metro Vancouver, the dispute concerns a Fraser River crossing and a sum in the hundreds of millions of dollars, which is why the experts are urging care before any change of course.
