Another fun fact: The Granville Street Bridge in Vancouver was the widest bridge in the world upon completion in 1954.

The Alex Fraser Bridge was the longest and (I've been told) widest cable stay-bridge in the world upon its completion in 1986.

The new Port Mann Bridge will be the widest cable-stay bridge in the world upon completion in 2012.

What's up with Metro Vancouver and fat bridges?
