Port Mann Bridge

Port Mann Bridge is a road bridge with ten traffic lanes in Coquitlam and Surrey, British Columbia, spanning 2093 meters along the Fraser River. The structure consists of steel arches and suspension cables that support a central cable-stayed section.

A first bridge at this location opened in 1964 and was replaced by the current structure in 2012. The new construction was part of a larger project to expand traffic connections between Coquitlam and Surrey.

The name recalls the historic settlement of Port Mann on the south bank of the Fraser. Today this crossing serves as a major commuter route for workers traveling between the lower mainland communities.

Those passing during daytime can expect heavy traffic, especially during morning and evening rush hours. Pedestrians and cyclists can cross the river on a separate pathway alongside the main roadway.

The middle section span reaches 470 meters, making it one of the longest arch bridges in North America. Sensors throughout the structure continuously monitor stress and movement to ensure safety during high winds.
