Arthur Laing Bridge, Prestressed concrete bridge in Vancouver, Canada
The Arthur Laing Bridge spans the Fraser River with four lanes, connecting Vancouver to Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport through Grant McConachie Way.
The Canadian government opened this transportation link in August 1975, naming it after Arthur Laing, a former member of the House of Commons from Vancouver.
The bridge stands on traditional territories of three First Nations groups: the Musqueam Indian Band, Squamish Nation, and Tsleil-Waututh Nation.
Vancouver International Airport maintains this structure, which serves approximately 79,000 vehicles daily and includes dedicated shoulders for bicycle traffic.
In 1981, a Cessna 172 aircraft successfully executed an emergency landing on the bridge deck after running out of fuel.
