Cambie Bridge, Box girder bridge in Vancouver, Canada
Cambie Bridge crosses False Creek with six traffic lanes and spans 1100 meters in length. The structure uses prestressed concrete box girders of varying depths to support the roadway across the water.
Construction finished in 1985 and replaced two earlier bridges from 1891 and 1911 that stood at the same location. This is the third version of a crossing built at this site over False Creek.
The bridge connects several neighborhoods and serves as a main route for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the water daily. It forms part of the transportation network that links the southern shore with downtown.
Separate pedestrian walkways protected by concrete barriers keep foot traffic safe, while a dedicated bicycle lane has been in place since 2018. Both areas allow visitors to cross the bridge on foot or by bike with clear separation from vehicle lanes.
A neighborhood heating and water system runs beneath the southern section, supplying energy to nearby buildings below the structure. This hidden infrastructure shows how modern bridges can serve multiple purposes at once.
