The Lions Gate Bridge is a 1,823-metre suspension bridge spanning the first narrows of Burrard Inlet, connecting Stanley Park to the North Shore. Its Art Deco towers and sweeping cables frame one of the most photographed urban vistas in Canada.
Built by the Guinness brewing family in 1938 to connect their British Properties neighbourhood, the bridge cost $6 million. Privately operated as a toll bridge until the provincial government purchased it in 1963 for $3.9 million. Designated a National Historic Site in 1995.
