Burrard Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Vancouver, Canada
The Burrard Bridge stretches across False Creek with four traffic lanes, connecting downtown Vancouver with the Kitsilano neighborhood through a five-part steel structure.
Inaugurated on July 1, 1932, the bridge opening featured performances by the Kitsilano Boys Band and Fireman's Band, while an RCAF seaplane flew underneath.
The bridge incorporates Art Deco elements, including decorative towers, middle galleries, and portrait sculptures of Captain George Vancouver and Sir Harry Burrard on its piers.
The bridge lanes accommodate both vehicles and cyclists, with dedicated cycling infrastructure that has become the most used bicycle path in North America.
Four large braziers installed at the bridge ends serve as memorials to World War I prisoners, representing the fires that provided warmth in their camps.
