This is the Vancouver Land Bridge which was opened in 2008. It is a pedestrian crossing bridge that is surrounded by lush greenery. along the path, there are signs that educate the pedestrians about the native pants present. The bridge provides a continuation of the Greenland that is otherwise split in two by the highway that runs underneath it. This is another stunning example of a mix of nature and architecture, which seems to be a common element in Jones and Jones architecture projects. This bridge is built on land that both Native Americans, as well as early European explorers, have traveled over and set up communities in. The project is a reminder of those times and a symbol of the progress made. I believe it is a beautiful way to incorporate the landscape into a functional piece of art.
