A new bridge spanning the Seymour River will be built this year by Metro Vancouver. It will replace the old bridge that was made unusable and removed after the 2014 landslide. The work is expected to be completed by December 2017.

The new bridge will:

  • be constructed in the same general area where the former bridge was located
  • be significantly longer and higher
  • accommodate various motor-less traffic such as hikers, cyclists, and dog walkers

Other work that will be done during the project also include:

  • Construction of a new single-lane vehicular bridge for Metro Vancouver operations access at Riverside Drive
  • Replacement of the staircase along Baden-Powell Trail near the north end of Riverside Drive
  • Trail connection improvements to the new infrastructure
