30 of Canada's most beautiful bridges

Linking the city of Vancouver to North Vancouver, the sprawling Lions Gate Bridge has been a West Coast landmark since it opened in 1938. The road leading to the bridge cuts through leafy Stanley Park, a remarkably controversial route at the time of the bridge’s construction. The bridge is named after “the Lions,” a pair of nearby mountain peaks, and its south entrance also features two concrete lion sculptures by artist Charles Marega.
