The Skybridge [ ˌ skaɪ bɹɪdʒ ] ( Sky Bridge ) is a cable-stayed bridge built in 1989 in the Metro Vancouver region in the southwest of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It spans the Fraser River and connects New Westminster with Surrey.

The bridge does not serve the automotive market but carries two tracks of the public transport system operated by Translink SkyTrain and is traversed by the Expo Line. A (not connected ) third track in the middle of the bridge is maintenance workers to the equipment back and forth to move.

The two bridge towers are 123 m high, the tracks are 45 meters above the river. With a central span of 340 m and a total length of 616 m the Skybridge is the longest bridge in the world that is exclusively for public transport.
