Laing Bridge
On May 15, 1976 the Arthur Laing Bridge officially opened, named after a native son of Richmond who became a cabinet minister under Pierre Trudeau, then later a Senator. The $23 million four-lane bridge, which crosses the north arm of the Fraser to Sea Island, vastly speeded up access to the Vancouver International Airport. It reduced the distance from downtown to the airport by more than three kilometres. Traffic had started using the bridge August 27, 1975, but the official opening was May 15, 1976. It’s 1,676 metres (one mile) in total length, and more than 90,000 vehicles use it daily.

Supply isn’t enough to meet demand, which is being spurred on by record-low interest rates, a strengthening economy and pandemic-fuelled house-hunting, said the board.
“While homes are now being listed at record levels, more supply is needed to meet today’s demand and help market conditions achieve greater balance,” Stewart said.
Condo sales topped all residential types, with 2,289 units exchanging hands in April, followed by detached homes (1,655) and townhouses (964).
Benchmark prices are about two to three per cent higher in April compared with March, depending on housing type. The benchmark price for a detached home for the region is $1,755,500, $900,900 for townhouses and $729,600 for condos.
