THE LIONS Gate bridge finds solace in the Vancouver nighttime,
but the morning will bring the commuter peunding that threatens
the future of the 55-year-old span.

LIONS GATE BRIDGE

THE NIGHTTIME brings
welcome relief-to the ma-
jestic lady that has linked
the North Shore to Van-
.couver for over half a cen-
tury.

By A.P. McCredie
Automotive Reporter

But. at the first sliver of dawn,
the relentless pounding of four-
wheeled machines begins, as does
another day in the life of the
Lions Gate Bridge.

The cars will continue to line up
every morning, sleepy commuters
at the wheels, but how much
longer will the historical span be
able to hold up her end of the
bargain?

The bridge was built by the
Guinness family to make access to
their massive West Vancouver
land-holdings easier. The cost of
construction of the bridge, opened
in 1938, was $6 million.

A partner in the North Shore
structural engineering firm that
teleased a Lions Gate Bridge study
in March recently took the media
on a sunrise tour of the bridge.

Peter Buckland, of Buckland &
Taylor Ltd., is as familiar with
the Lions Gate Bridge as anyone,
having studied it for over 20
years, -

“The problem with the bridge is
not the weight-bearing structure,
but the roadway,”’ Buckland said.
