The current report

About this crossing
The Oak Street Bridge carries Highway 99 over the North Arm of the Fraser between Marpole and Richmond: four lanes, no counterflow and a signal at the Vancouver end that meters everything coming off Oak Street. Everyone calls it the Oak Street Bridge; the signs say Highway 99. It is the busiest thing on this list because it is the funnel: everything heading for the Massey Tunnel, the airport turnoff and the ferry terminal passes over it, so the morning queue runs north from Bridgeport and the afternoon one south from 70th and Marine Drive. The alternates are the Arthur Laing for the airport and Richmond centre, the Knight Street Bridge for anything bound east and Highway 91 by way of Marine Drive when the tunnel is the real problem.
