CNR Bridge, Railway bridge in New Westminster, Canada
The CNR Bridge spans the Fraser River with a steel structure featuring a swing mechanism to allow vessel passage through the waterway.
The bridge opened in 1904 with two decks, carrying both rail and automobile traffic until the Pattullo Bridge construction in 1937 led to removal of the upper deck.
The bridge represents an essential part of New Westminster's industrial heritage, connecting communities on both sides of the Fraser River for over a century.
The structure accommodates approximately 46 freight trains daily, with a maximum speed limit of 11 miles per hour across its 2,400-foot length.
The bridge operation includes a specific signal pattern of four long horn blasts from vessels requesting passage through the swing span section.
