The Oak Street Bridge is a four-lane bridge in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It spans the Fraser River and connects Vancouver with the Lulu Island Iceland in the town of Richmond. About the 213.20 m long girder bridge carries Highway 99 your span lengths amount to 60.9 meters - 91.4 meters - 60.9 meters.
The Oak Street Bridge was opened on 3 July 1957. During the planning stage it was known as New Marpole Bridge. After the opening the further west Marpole Bridge was demolished in 1889 after Iceland Sea. This turned out to be a design error. The traffic shifted to the east, and then the business district along Hudson Street and Marine Drive increasingly desolate. In addition, the traffic volume rose toward Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport to unexpectedly strong.
During the first two years, the bridge was a toll road. Through the Arthur Laing Bridge to Iceland Sea was released in 1974. 1995 were alternately interrupted two tracks, in order to rehabilitate the roadway and install to protection against earthquakes.
