I said it before and I'll say it again, why are they even considering building a new bridge right next to the Ambassador. Build it south.

EACTLY!! At least I know I'm not the only one who thinks that! Two bridges close together like that would look silly. Building it south of the city is the best option, even though that would be more expensive because it would have to span a larger distance.

I think everyone except the bridge people think it should be south. Plus, it's fairly industrial down river so you wouldn't have to worry about tearing down neighborhoods.
