'Port Mann Cable-Stayed Bridge - Night Glow' by Peterson Ph♡tography
British Columbia, Canada
The Port Mann Bridge is a 10-lane cable-stayed bridge that opened to traffic in 2012. It is currently the second longest cable-stayed bridge in North America and was the widest bridge in the world until the opening of the new Bay Bridge in California.
The new bridge replaced a steel arch bridge that spanned the Fraser River, connecting Coquitlam to Surrey in British Columbia near Vancouver.
The new bridge is 2.02 kilometres (1.26 mi) long, 65 metres (213 ft) wide carrying 10 lanes, and has a 42 metres (138 ft) clearance above the river's high water level (the same length and clearance as the old bridge).
The towers are approximately 75 metres (246 ft) tall above deck level, with the total height approximately 163 metres (535 ft) from top of footing. The main span (between the towers) is 470 metres (1,540 ft) long, the second longest cable-stayed span in the western hemisphere.
The main bridge (between the end of the cables) has a length of 850 metres (2,790 ft) with two towers and 288 cables. In addition to the 10 traffic lanes, the new bridge was built to accommodate the future installation of a light rapid transit line underneath the main deck.
