Knight Street Bridge

The Knight Street Bridge spans 1198 meters across the Fraser River with four to six lanes for motor vehicles and pedestrian walkways.

The construction of this cast-in-place segmental cantilever bridge began in 1969 and opened on January 15, 1974, with a total cost of 15 million dollars.

The bridge takes its name from Robert Knight, a notable property owner in South Vancouver during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The bridge experiences high traffic volume, particularly during rush hours, and connects Westminster Highway in Richmond to Marine Drive in Vancouver.

The electrical heating system embedded in the bridge deck prevents ice formation during winter conditions without requiring manual de-icing procedures.
