OVERVIEW

The Burrard Bridge was opened in 1932 as a a six lane bridge with sidewalks on both sides. The bridge was built in the Art Deco style and City Council included it on the City’s Heritage Register in 1986. In 2016 Ross Morrison Electrical was awarded the Burrard Street Bridge Retrofit and Rehabilitation Project. This included the restoration and relighting of four (4) original memorial braziers installed on the bridge in honor of the sacrifices made by Canadian soldiers. New LED pedestrian scale lighting, mimicking the original lights installed in the 1930s along with new LED street lights and electrical infrastructure for future expansion.
