National Historic Site of Canada - the Lions Gate Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Western Canada with a total length (including approach spans) of 1517 metres. This remarkable suspension bridge, towering over the waters of Burrard Inlet, is distinguished by an elegant design that complements a spectacular mountain setting. Designed by the firm of Monsarrat & Pratley, the Lions Gate Bridge was recognized from the time of its completion in 1938 as an engineering feat, with its impressive span and such advanced features as a thin road deck and prefabricated cable strands.
