*** About Lions Gate Bridge: Spanning the Burrard Inlet in Vancouver, Canada, the Lions Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge that originally opened in 1938. Designed by the famous engineering firm Monsarrat and Pratley, the bridge connects the City of Vancouver to the North Shore municipalities of West Vancouver and North Vancouver. It is a vital transportation link but also a venerated icon of the region, offering spectacular views of the inlet, Stanley Park, and the surrounding mountains. Named after the Lions, a pair of mountain peaks north of Vancouver, the bridge’s height and design have made it a cherished landmark, frequently admired and depicted in various artistic forms, from photographs to paintings.
