VANCOUVER – New traffic figures for the Port Mann Bridge are out and it shows a decline in drivers over the toll bridge.

The new Port Mann Bridge was opened on Dec. 1, 2012 as part of the Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project. Regular tolling went into effect on Jan. 1, 2014 following a one-year introductory period.
