Description
Taken in downtown Victoria BC. Close-up of rivets of the old Johnson Street Bridge which opened on January 11, 1924. The double Strauss Trunnion Bridge was built to improve access between Victoria and industrial lands on the west side of the harbour. It was constructed with two separate, yet parallel, bridge spans – one to accommodate railways traffic and the second for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. The bridge was painted black for 55 years, but was given a light blue paint job in 1979.
On August 12, 2010, Victoria city councillors voted to replace the Johnson Street Bridge, rather than refurbish the existing bridge
