Simon Fraser Bridge, Truss bridge in Prince George, Canada

The Simon Fraser Bridge extends 400 meters across the Fraser River with a deck truss design that distributes loads efficiently through its steel framework.

Completed in 1963 as a two-lane structure, the bridge underwent a 50-million-dollar expansion in 2009 to accommodate growing traffic with additional northbound lanes.

The bridge carries the name of Simon Fraser, an explorer who navigated these waters in 1805 and contributed to the establishment of Prince George.

The bridge serves approximately 22,000 vehicles daily on Highway 97, connecting communities while providing dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists.

Recent upgrades increased the height clearance under Ferry Avenue, replaced the deck, and added wider shoulders with new safety barriers for improved transportation.
