The @Translink Skybridge connecting New Westminster and Surrey

As you know, I’m totally fascinated by little things. I have made it my purpose to ALWAYS be fascinated and amazed at the beauty of the world (you *must* have read that story I wrote about how, since I was like 5 I decided I would be amazed at something EVERY DAY? A few decades later, I still am able to do that). When I visited Drink Urban Lounge with my lovely interns Anabelle and Jessica, I noticed a bridge connecting New Westminster and Surrey.

Curious as I always am, I wanted to take a photograph and was able to picture the Skytrain travelling from New Westminster to Surrey. I wondered if it had a name, and lo-and-behold, Twitter had the answer. I’m actually quite impressed how many people responded extremely fast (Sean Orr and Henry Lee, amongst them – Jennifer Siddon works for Translink specifically for Skytrain so I figured she might know).

That bridge is called Skybridge. From the Wikipedia entry:

The Skybridge is a cable-stayed bridge in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Built between 1987 and 1989, it spans the Fraser River and connects New Westminster with Surrey. The Skybridge opened for revenue use on March 16, 1990 with the second half of the Phase II extension of SkyTrain to Scott Road Station.
