The railway has clearance issues with the bridge, it has to go. I agree about it's beauty though. I love the old bridges.

Speaking of the old Sherbrook-Mcgregor bridge proposal, I was looking over the old WATS Winnipeg freeway plans the other day... Really interesting stuff in there (would have fundamentally altered the way our city grew in the past half century), and a lot of neighbourhoods would have been completely bisected...
Potential freeways included:
Out to Tcona, south of Nairn
Through the north-end (between Mcgregor and Mckenzie, and south over the tracks)
One that essentially follows the same path as the South-west BRT corridor
One following the CP yards then around the airport
One near Wilkes (essentially like the Sterling Lyon, but all the way to Jubilee)
