Double Crossing

I find something inspiring about two of the Fraser River crossings in New Westminster. I am not quite sure why I'm so fascinated with them. It might be a respect for engineering or civil design. I've taken a few pictures of the Patullo & SkyTrain Bridges. The Patullo, built in 1937, is presently undergoing some renovation. It carries cars and trucks whereas the SkyTrain bridge is a transit-only crossing completed in 1990. The SkyTrain bridge can be seen from my balcony, but this picture was taken from the Brownsville Bar Waterfront Park on the Surrey side of the river.
