I can see the old "new bridge" being limited to passenger vehicles and light trucks only, like the Macdonald is, to extend its life and reduce maintenance demands. Cable-stayed bridge designs are the current soup du jour in the engineering community.

That sounds about right. The immediate drop in demand on the McKay by opening another bridge will also help extend it's life.
BTW I got a kick out of your naming. So that means we'll have an old new bridge, a new old bridge, and a new new bridge
