Numerous bridges can be spotted from Pier Park including large bridges such as the New Westminster Rail Bridge, Pattullo Bridge, Skybridge, Queensborough Railway Bridge and the Alex Fraser Bridge, which provide connections across the Fraser River for people and goods.
Don't worry you won't have to visit those far away strucutres to complete this multi. This multi will take you to three less prominent bridges that allow people to access Pier Park and the New Westminster Quay. The height of these structures allow for great views up and down the Fraser River.
