Location

The cable-stayed bridge replaced a steel arch bridge that spanned about 2 km over the Fraser River, connecting Coquitlam to Surrey in British Columbia in the Vancouver metro area. After its successor was opened to traffic, the old bridge was removed by reverse construction, a process which took 3 years to complete.
