The Fraser River Swing Bridge crosses the Fraser River and connects New Westminster with Surrey.
The Fraser River Swing Bridge was constructed in 1904, and was originally built with two decks. The lower deck was used for rail traffic, and the upper deck was used for automobile traffic. With the opening of the Pattullo Bridge in 1937, the upper deck was removed and the bridge was converted exclusively for rail use.
