Stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge

About

The stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge (stah-loh-AH-səm, Halkomelem: [stɑlˀəwˀˈɑːsəm]), also known as the Riverview Bridge, is a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Fraser River. The crossing officially opened on February 14, 2026, and links the cities of New Westminster and Surrey in Metro Vancouver. Prior to its official opening, one northbound lane of the bridge was opened to vehicle traffic in 2025 in order to fulfill a commitment made by the provincial government. The bridge received its Halkomelem name from the Kwantlen First Nation and Musqueam Indian Band. Road signage includes both its Halkomelem and English name. The cable-stayed bridge replaced the through arch Pattullo Bridge, which spanned the Fraser River from 1937 to 2026.
