Lynn Canyon suspension bridge reopens after months of repairs
The District of North Vancouver has announced that the iconic Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is ready for public use after a major restoration project.
Built in 1912, the suspension bridge has long been a favourite for locals and visitors seeking nature views and an escape from the city.
The restoration began on Oct. 1, 2025, and replaced the east approach boardwalk and staircase as it had reached its end of life.

Lynn Canyon Park remained open during construction this fall, with trail detour signs posted throughout the park.
The work also required periodic closures of the east parking lot.
“We would like to thank everyone for their patience during this important project, and we are excited to be able to welcome visitors back onto the bridge in time for the holidays,” said the District of North Vancouver on social media.
Locals and visitors shared their excitement about being able to visit the Lynn Canyon suspension bridge once again.

“Looks beautiful – can’t wait to go check it out,” shared one person on social media. “Great job, DNV Crew!”
“It’s amazing, an outdoor wooden built walkway is better and safer than my walkway in my complex,” added another.
It has been a busy fall for the District of North Vancouver.
In October, crews completed work on the Mission Creek bridge replacement project and the Cleveland Park staircase replacement.
The District also made improvements to the popular Baden Powell Trail, using stone mason techniques to improve sections of rock stairs leading to Quarry Rock.
