*** About Lions Gate Bridge: The Lions Gate Bridge, officially known as the First Narrows Bridge, is a suspension bridge that crosses the first narrows of Burrard Inlet and connects the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, to the North Shore including the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver, and West Vancouver. Designed by Alfred J.T. Taylor, and completed in 1938, the bridge is a vital transportation route for the region and a beloved landmark. Spanning 1,823 meters, its name was inspired by the Lions, a pair of mountain peaks north of Vancouver. The bridge's design and prominent location have made it a symbolic gateway to the city and a focal point in many representations of Vancouver's scenic beauty.
