Which suspension bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia, is a popular tourist attraction?

The popular tourist suspension bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia, is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It crosses the Capilano River in the District of North Vancouver and forms the centerpiece of the privately operated Capilano Suspension Bridge Park.

The original bridge was built in 1889 by Scottish civil engineer George Grant Mackay. It first used hemp ropes and a cedar-plank deck, but was replaced with a wire-cable structure in 1903. The bridge was completely rebuilt in 1956. Today’s pedestrian bridge is about 140 metres long and hangs roughly 70 metres above the river.

Visitors often confuse it with the nearby Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, which is also in North Vancouver. Lynn Canyon’s bridge is free and opened in 1912, while Capilano is a paid attraction known for additional experiences such as Treetops Adventure and Cliffwalk. The Capilano site attracts more than a million visitors annually.
