Is it possible for a bridge to feel lonely? The Moray Channel Bridge, a steadfast sentinel over the middle arm of the Fraser River, might just make you wonder. Opened in July 1957, the same day as the grand Oak Street Bridge, this bridge, formerly known as the Middle Arm Bridge, holds a quiet dignity. It was named after Jonathan Moray, a sergeant in the Corps of Royal Engineers and later the New Westminster police chief. Richard Moody, known for naming places after acquaintances, bestowed this honour upon him. The Moray Channel Bridge, a low-level two-lane marvel of concrete and steel, is maintained by the Province of BC. Imagine the intricate machinery of its centre swing span, stretching 53 metres, as it opens to allow boats passage. The approaches, 170 metres on Lulu Island and 124 metres on Sea Island, speak to the bridge’s reach. Before the Dinsmore Bridge graced these waters in 1969, the Moray Channel Bridge carried the weight of being the sole crossing. Twice in 1961, malfunctions trapped traffic for hours, even delaying airport flights. Despite these hiccups, the Moray Channel Bridge perseveres, a testament to its enduring strength and a vital link in the network of Vancouver’s waterways.
