Ironworkers Memorial Bridge Cameras Live: Second Narrows

Live DriveBC cameras on the Ironworkers Memorial (Second Narrows) Bridge: both approaches and mid-span on Highway 1, with Lions Gate to compare.

Home · Highway cameras · Ironworkers Memorial Bridge

The Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing carries Highway 1 over Burrard Inlet between East Vancouver and North Vancouver. It is one of only two road bridges to the North Shore, so a stall here is felt on Lions Gate within minutes. These are the province's own DriveBC cameras, from the Vancouver side to the North Shore side.

Live stills from DriveBC, the Province of British Columbia's highway cameras (Open Government Licence – British Columbia). The page requests new stills every two minutes while visible. A successful load does not prove a recent capture: check the timestamp in the image. Tap a camera to open it on DriveBC.

How to use these cameras

  • Look at both ends, then the middle. A clear mid-span frame with a packed approach means the queue is on the on-ramps, not on the deck.
  • Compare with Lions Gate before you choose. The two bridges are the only roads to the North Shore; the last row shows Lions Gate so you can pick the shorter queue. More views on the Lions Gate Bridge cameras page.
  • Check the time stamped in each image. A frozen frame tells you nothing about the bridge now; open the camera on DriveBC if the time looks wrong.
  • No car? The SeaBus crosses the inlet between Waterfront Station and Lonsdale Quay and does not care about bridge traffic. Fares are on the Compass fares page.
