The Burrard Street Bridge (also known simply as Burrard Bridge) is a truss bridge that crosses over False Creek. It contains four lanes of Burrard Street and goes from downtown Vancouver to the neighbourhood of Kitsilano. It is both owned and maintained by the City of Vancouver.
During the building of the city, they put the 1928–1929 Bartholomew Plan into place, which was the first comprehensive city plan for Vancouver. One of the key parts of the plan was to create a bridge to cross False Creek and be able to handle the traffic to the new residential area in Point Grey, as well as, the new University of British Columbia campus. John R. Grant was hired to design the bridge, which he decided to do so in an Art Deco-style along with a Charles Marega sculpture of Sir Harry Burrard-Neale. Construction on the bridge started in 1930 and ended in 1932. On July 1, 1932, the bridge was opened by Vancouver mayor L. D. Taylor.[1][2]
