Height: 111 m

Total length: 1,823 m

 

Construction began on March 31, 1937. It opened to traffic on November 14, 1938.

 

On January 20, 1955, the Guinness family sold the bridge to the province for $5,959,060, and in 1963, the tolls were dropped.

 

The Guinnesses’ last involvement with the bridge happened in 1986, when they added lights to the bridge as an Expo '86 gift.

 

The Guinness family, as a gift to Vancouver, purchased decorative lights that make it a distinctive nighttime landmark for our city.
