Several ideas to connect the Sunshine Coast and Highway 101 to the rest of British Columbia via a road or bridge connection have been considered and undergone feasibility studies. Bridging the ferry gap between the two sections of Highway 101 was studied at the same time. A fixed link would improve travel times and reliability for residents, lower operating costs, open the area up for tourism and add real estate. Over a dozen fixed link ideas were originally proposed which was narrowed down to 4 for serious consideration. One or a combinations of ideas are considered for implementation.
