Georgia Viaduct, Twin bridge system in Downtown Vancouver, Canada
The Georgia Viaduct consists of two parallel elevated roadways connecting Downtown Vancouver with Main Street and the Strathcona neighborhood at 49.2772°N latitude.
Built in 1972 to replace an older 1915 structure, the viaduct formed part of an extensive freeway system plan that was later abandoned due to community resistance.
The construction required the demolition of Hogan's Alley, a central gathering place for Vancouver's Black Canadian community, leading to the displacement of numerous residents.
The structure passes between Rogers Arena and BC Place Stadium, serving as a primary traffic route for vehicles entering and exiting the eastern section of downtown.
In 2015, the Vancouver City Council voted to remove the viaducts for redevelopment into parks, housing, and retail spaces, marking a shift from car-centric urban planning.
