Cambie Bridge

The Cambie Bridge spans False Creek with six lanes, extending 1100 meters through concrete construction with varying-depth post tension box girders across the waterway.

Constructed in 1985 for 52.7 million dollars, this structure represents the third bridge built at this location, replacing earlier wooden and steel versions from 1891 and 1911.

The bridge connects multiple Vancouver neighborhoods, linking Cambie Street on False Creek's south shore to Nelson and Smithe Streets in the downtown district.

The structure includes separate pedestrian walkways protected by concrete barriers and features a dedicated bicycle lane installed in 2018 to support alternative transportation methods.

The Neighbourhood Energy Utility operates beneath the southern section of the bridge, providing heating and water services to Southeast False Creek buildings.
