Johnson Street Bridge, Bascule bridge in Victoria, Canada.
The Johnson Street Bridge spans the inner harbor with its steel structure painted in bright blue, connecting downtown Victoria to the Vic West neighborhood.
The current bridge, opened in 2018, replaced three previous structures dating back to 1855, when a low wagon bridge first connected the shores.
The bridge design resulted from extensive community input, reflecting the local commitment to preserving maritime heritage while embracing modern infrastructure needs.
The structure includes three vehicle lanes, separate pathways for pedestrians and cyclists, and a lifting mechanism that allows large vessels to pass underneath.
The bridge holds the record as North America's longest single-leaf bascule span, incorporating geometric features and tapered truss sections in its design.
