New Heights Achieved
Building the stal̕əw̓asəm (Riverview) Bridge was a tall order. The tower stands 167 metres above the Fraser River! The new bridge provides important improvements for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians—and a legacy for British Columbians and the tradespeople who built it.
These improvements include:
- A safer crossing for all bridge users with modern, wider lanes, separated by a centre median barrier
- Dedicated walking and cycling lanes, separated from traffic by a barrier on both sides of the bridge
- Better connections to, from and near the bridge
- Priority access to construction jobs for local trades workers
The toll-free stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge is now open. BCIB tradespeople are now working to disassemble and deconstruct the Pattullo Bridge.
