The N. Vancouver Ave. bridge crossing over the Columbia Slough will remain closed to all motor vehicle traffic as a result of a fire that damaged the timber support members on Tuesday evening, October 14. City engineers have evaluated the extent of the damage and have decided not to re-open the bridge.
Although closed the motor vehicles, the overpass is open to pedestrians and bicycles.
Closure is expected to remain in place until a new bridge can be built. There is no estimated timeline for this project.
