Burrard Street Bridge Opens

Hello! We thank you for your patience and understanding as we complete critical upgrades to street, water, and sewer infrastructure along the Burrard Street Corridor. Burrard Bridge Reopened A rehabilitated and enhanced Burrard Bridge has reopened to all modes of travel! Access for people walking has returned to the east side of the bridge, and major safety and reliability enhancements have been made at the intersection of Burrard and Pacific Street, previously the city's second highest vehicle-to-vehicle collision location. Careful planning went into preserving the unique significance of this Vancouver landmark in cooperation with the city’s heritage community, health partners, and representatives from the film and television industry. ​The restored heritage lights are detailed reproductions of the originals and feature programmable LEDs that can display any colour combination throughout the bridge.  Burrard Bridge Improvements:  - New sidewalks - Restored concrete handrails - Restored pedestrian lamp posts - Means prevention fencing and crisis phones - Separated driving and cycling lanes - Walking access returned to the east side of the bridge - Safety enhancements at the Burrard and Pacific intersection Learn more about the bridge and intersection improvements.  Remaining work on the bridge includes upgrades to the electrical system and brazier lights, and minor deficiency repairs. A huge thanks to residents, businesses, and travelers for your patience while the Burrard Bridge upgrades were underway.
