It opened to traffic on March 29, 1910. The bridge is approximately 325 metres long and consists of a swing span that opens for marine passage below.</p> <p><strong>The bridge is 108 years old and requires <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181228082140/https://buzzer.translink.ca/2013/07/roads-bridges-getting-to-know-westham-island/">maintenance and rehabilitation work</a> as part of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181228082140/https://www.translink.ca/Plans-and-Projects/TransLink-Maintenance-and-Repair-Program.aspx">TransLink Maintenance and Repair Program</a> to keep it safe and reliable.</strong></p> <p>Major rehabilitation work on the bridge began this fall and will continue until spring 2019. Work involves repairing and replacing components across the entire bridge, including piles and pile caps, floor beams and stringers below the deck, deck and handrail, and the swing mechanism.</p> <p>During closures, emergency vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists will be allowed to cross with an escort; the bridge will be closed to all other traffic.</p> <p><strong> Overnight closures will be from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.</strong> on the following nights:</p> <ul> <li><strong>December 10 – 15</strong></li> <li><strong>December 17 – 22</strong></li> </ul> <p>There will be <strong>no closures from Sunday night into Monday morning</strong> and <strong>no daytime closures during December</strong>. Daytime closures will be scheduled in the new year.</p> <blockquote><p>Closure details, including dates of future closures, will be shared through the following channels:</p> <ul> <li>Roadside digital signage</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181228082140/http://www.translink.ca/westham">The Westham Island Rehabilitation web page</a></li> <li>The Delta Optimist</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181228082140/https://twitter.com/TransLink">TransLink Twitter</a></li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>There may be closures of the swing span, the details of which will be communicated regularly to ensure users of the navigational channel are aware of any restrictions.</p> <div align="center">https://twitter.com/CityofDeltaBC/status/1071170072864010240</div> <p><strong> </strong><strong>Why does the bridge have to be closed? </strong></p> <p>The bridge must be closed at various times throughout construction to ensure the safety of the workers and bridge users, and to accommodate construction equipment.</p> <p><strong>Is the bridge safe?</strong></p> <p>The bridge is safe for use; however, as one of the oldest bridges in the region, there are elements of it that are nearing the end of their useful lives. The upcoming rehabilitation work ensures the bridge remains safe and reliable.</p> <p><strong>We thank bridge users and nearby residents for their patience while we improve one of the oldest bridges in the region.</strong></p> <p>Make sure you check <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181228082140/http://www.translink.ca/westham">www.translink.ca/westham</a> for up-to-date information.</p> <blockquote><p>Have questions?

will be introduced to service on all-day Expo Line runs now operated by Mark III trains.</p> <p>These trains are fully-articulated (you can walk from one end of the train to the other), have more room for standing passengers, wheelchairs, bikes, strollers and riders with luggage, and are more environmentally efficient, and so much more!</p> <p>Every 4th new Mark III train will allow us to update the Expo/Millennium service timetables, thereby increasing capacity on both the lines.</p> <blockquote><p>Stay tuned to know when the new trains go into service!
