Coast Meridian Overpass, Cable-stayed bridge in Port Coquitlam, Canada.

The Coast Meridian Overpass extends 580 meters across the Canadian Pacific Railway yard and Lougheed Highway with four traffic lanes and dedicated paths.

Construction of the bridge started in March 2008 and reached completion in March 2010, connecting the northern and southern areas of Port Coquitlam.

The structure received recognition through the 2012 ACEC National Award for its contribution to regional transportation infrastructure and community development.

The bridge features a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour and includes separate lanes for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians crossing the railway yard.

Engineers used a push-launch system to construct the bridge sections over 50 parallel railway tracks without interrupting train operations below.
