The Alex Fraser Bridge, with a main span of 465 m (1525 ft.), was the longest span cable-stayed bridge in the world from its completion in 1986 until 1991.

It carries six lanes of traffic, and was the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Americas until the Cooper River Bridge opened in July 2005. From abutment to abutment, the length is 2525 m.

It's an elegant steel and concrete landmark designed and built by British Columbia engineers and construction crews, using state-of-the-art engineering, technology and construction materials.

B&T's Scope of Work:

CBA-Buckland & Taylor designed the bridge, which won several design awards. The bridge was built in 27 months to very high quality and contains numerous innovations including the first use of totally floating superstructure for seismic base isolation.  Many of the innovations and connection details, which made this bridge so economical and easy to construct, have become standard practice in the design of modern cable-stayed bridges. Based on constructed price per square foot of deck, it was the most economical bridge of this type in the world.
