DescriptionRailway and General Traffic Bridge across the Fraser River, New Westminster, B.C.jpg |
English: New Westminster Low Level Road-Rail Bridge with swing span. Known locally as the Fraser River Bridge.
Bridge built by the province of British Columbia and opened in 1904. It was the first crossing of the lower Fraser River. It serviced three railways: the Canadian Northern Pacific Rwy., the Vancouver Victoria & Eastern Rwy., and the B.C. Electric Railway Co. By road, the bridge gave access from Vancouver-New Westminster to the farmlands of Langley, Surrey and Delta, to the old Yale Road up the Fraser Valley, and to the Pacific Highway south to the U.S. border. Both road and rail traffic increased steadily in weight and frequency over the years to the point of being a nuisance during peak periods, especially to truckers. The upper highway deck was one way width for trucks, and eventually (1937) was superseded by the 4-lane high level Pattullo Bridge alongside to the south. |
