Marpole Bridge, Railway bridge in Metro Vancouver, Canada

Marpole Bridge is a railway bridge spanning the north arm of the Fraser River, joining Vancouver's Marpole neighborhood with Richmond's Lulu Island. The structure included a movable middle section that allowed both trains and ships to pass through.

The original structure was built in 1902 under Canadian Pacific Railway control to move workers and goods to factories on the south shore. Following a barge collision in 1967 that destroyed the swing span, portions of the bridge were later repurposed as public spaces.

The bridge once served as the main link to salmon canneries on the south shore, where workers rode daily to their shifts. It physically connects two neighborhoods with different histories and characters.

The bridge is a dismantled structure with no public crossing; the rail right-of-way north of Marpole became the Arbutus Greenway, and the Railway Avenue stretch in Richmond opened as a greenway in 2013. The 2014 fire destroyed a 100-metre wooden trestle section on the Marpole side, and a June 2024 fire spread to the south end, closing the Oak Street Bridge.

Because several bridges crossed the Fraser nearby, vessels signalled the swing span with four long and two short horn blasts. A barge carrying wood chips struck a steel support in 1967, dropping the 32.3-metre span into the river. After a 2016 barge collision, CP removed the remaining span within days and its platform in 2017.
