Can 'temporary bridge' handle hospital load?

Dear editor,

Re: Location of new hospital.

Over the Tsolum River is a “temporary” bridge.

This is on the access road to the Inland Island Highway.

Living as I do near the junction, I constantly hear ambulance and police sirens en route to accident scenes, and question whether this “temporary bridge” with its traffic signal light is sufficient to provide quick access to said hospital.
