No. 2 Road Bridge

No. 2 Road Bridge is a transport bridge spanning roughly 560 meters across the Middle Arm of the Fraser River, connecting Lulu Island to Sea Island in Richmond. The structure provides four vehicle lanes and separate paths for cyclists and pedestrians to cross between these areas.

Construction of this bridge was completed in 1993, creating an important transport link for the Richmond region. The project received funding from both municipal and provincial authorities.

The bridge carries a straightforward street name chosen through local input, where residents favored a practical designation over honoring specific individuals. This reflects how everyday place names often come from simple choices that shape how people refer to their neighborhoods.

The bridge has well-developed lanes and paths designed for different types of traffic. Visitors should expect heavy use during peak hours and plan their crossing accordingly, as weather can affect conditions on the spans.

The bridge construction included special measures to protect the river and its surroundings. New intertidal marshes and woodland areas were created nearby to balance the environmental impact of the structure.
