Alex Fraser Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in British Columbia, Canada

The Alex Fraser Bridge is a cable-stayed crossing of the Fraser River between Annacis Island in Delta and North Delta, British Columbia. Its deck runs 2,525 metres including the approaches, carried by two grey concrete pylons 154 metres tall from which thin cables fan diagonally to the roadway; the main span between the towers is 465 metres. Seven lanes of Highway 91 cross it, with a reversible centre lane.

Construction of the bridge occurred between 1983 and 1986, opening to traffic on September 22, 1986, and it was named after Alex Fraser, the provincial Minister of Transportation at that time.

The bridge is named for Alex Fraser, a former British Columbia Minister of Transportation. Its cables run along the sides of the driving lanes rather than over the roadway, which is why falling ice from the cables has struck vehicles below in 2005, 2008, 2012 and December 2016. Cyclists and pedestrians use two narrow sidewalks, one on each side.

The bridge handles approximately 119,000 vehicles daily across seven lanes, including a reversible center lane managed by a movable barrier system during peak traffic hours to reduce congestion.

The cables run along the sides of the driving lanes rather than over the top, so snow and ice can slide off them onto traffic below. Ice falls closed the bridge several times in December 2016, and the province later used a heavy-lift helicopter to blow snow off the cables.
