About this crossing

The Arthur Laing carries Granville Street over the North Arm of the Fraser to Sea Island and the airport: four lanes, federally owned because it serves YVR, and the only crossing on the river whose ramps are laid out for a terminal rather than a city. Locals say the Arthur Laing; the signs say the airport. It is the airport road, so its pattern follows flights rather than commuters, with a long southbound afternoon and a northbound push mid-morning, and the Grant McConachie Way ramps meter everything on the island side. The alternates are the Oak Street Bridge for Richmond centre and the Knight Street Bridge for anything bound east, and neither reaches the terminals directly.

Questions

How current is the Arthur Laing report?
Vancouver604 publishes a new cycle every fifteen minutes. The time at the top of the page is when the cycle you are reading was published, and the page, the JSON feed and the player all show the same cycle.
What does it mean when the Arthur Laing is not in the report?
That the station had nothing to say about it. Vancouver604 reports what drivers and the public road feeds are seeing; a crossing that is moving is not mentioned, so a quiet page usually means a clear bridge.
Which zones cover the Arthur Laing?
Vancouver / UBC and Richmond / Delta. The crossing's report is drawn from every zone in the cycle, so it is found whichever side the station described it from.
Can I listen instead of reading?
Yes. Press play on this page or in the free iOS app, which also works in CarPlay so your hands stay on the wheel.
Is Vancouver604 an emergency service?
No. Vancouver604 is a community information service. In an emergency call 911. Never use your phone while driving.
