Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the By The Bridge series in Burnaby.

The pedestrian overpass that crosses Kingsway from Metrotown at the intersection with McMurray Avenue was built in 2008. For years the overpass connected the mall parking lot to a major electronics retailer and now there is a College in the building.

The bridge does not look as beautiful as it once did, losing it's shine and starting to look neglected. Most people just cross at the sidewalk at street level and never even use the overpass. Hopefully it will one day be integrated into Metrotown when it eventually gets redesigned.

The cache is small and you'll have to search meticulously to find it.

There is NO parking on Kingsway.

Congratulations to Zibby Dah for FTF!

The By The Bridge Series

The “By The Bridge” series features Geocaches that are located near or on pedestrian bridges around Burnaby, BC. The first cache we placed was near the Beaverbrook pedestrian bridge (GCAC76H). We placed a few other caches near pedestrian bridges and have converted those to the “By The Bridge” series. It's interesting to see how some of these pedestrian bridges connect neighbourhoods across some of the busy roadways of Burnaby.

By The Bridge #1: Beaverbrook
By The Bridge #2: Stoney Creek
By The Bridge #3: Sperling Burnaby Lake
By The Bridge #4: Still Creek
By The Bridge #5: Hastings
By The Bridge #6: Burnaby Central
By The Bridge #7: Coming Soon
By The Bridge #8: Metrotown
