Interesting. And the Stormont Connector is under MoT jurisdiction AFAIK. Should that link finally be built in a further trench to connect Hwy 1... you will have an expressway standard (if not freeway standard) regional connector over the Fraser to connect with the SFPR.

I certainly think an 80 km/hr posted speed limit would be appropriate. Traffic coming down the KGB hill from the Surrey side likely already has an operating speed of ~80 km/hr right now.

Heck, I've had to utilize the GEB during quite a few mornings over the past month and traffic flows at ~90 km/hr - 100 km/hr in the 60 km/hr posted segment along the western GEB connector to Hwy 15. Silly and unreasonable speed limits in this neck of the woods.
