Notes
The footbridge consists of a splayed arch with radiating hanger rods supporting the deck.
This bridge connects users of the Provincial Park with rock climbing terrain on both sides of the highway. Built as part of the Sea-to-Sky Highway Upgrade for the 2010 Winter Olympics, the bridge serves as a gateway structure to the Stawamus Chief Provincial Park and the town of Squamish.
