Bridge Crossings

  • Arthur Laing Bridge (Richmond-Vancouver): As there are no sidewalks on the bridge, cyclists ride on the shoulders of the roadway. Northbound cyclists can get to the bridge via Russ Baker Way or an off-street pathway that can be accessed from the Airport Station bus loop or from the Airport Connector bridge.
  • Oak Street Bridge (Richmond-Vancouver): Cyclists are required by law to ride on the sidewalks of the bridge. Access the west sidewalk via pathways from Bridgeport Road (south side) or Sea Island Way (north side). Signage on Garden City Road directs cyclists to the east sidewalk via Patterson Road and the maintenance road underneath the bridge.
  • Canada Line Bridge (Richmond-Vancouver): Cyclists and pedestrians have a separate, dedicated lane located under the guideway on the west side. Access the lane from Van Horne Way or River Drive.
  • Knight Street Bridge (Richmond-Vancouver): Cyclists are required by law to ride on the sidewalks of the bridge. Access either sidewalk via Bridgeport Road.
  • Alex Fraser Bridge (Richmond-Delta): Cyclists are required by law to ride on the sidewalks of the bridge. Signage directs cyclists to the west sidewalk via a pathway from Dyke Road (just west of Boundary Road) or to the east sidewalk via a ramp from Boundary Road.
