Directions

By Car

bulletIf you are arriving via Highway 1, there are two exits near the Bridge Centre. They are Rupert/1st Avenue (from Eastbound Highway 1) and Boundary/Grandview Highway (from Highway 1 West), and they are equally close by.   From the Rupert/1st Avenue exit, follow the bend and go straight through the light to go South on Rupert.  Turn right on Broadway, and take the first left (Kaslo) after the traffic lights at Renfrew Street.  From Boundary/Grandview Highway, follow Grandview until you reach Kaslo Street (one block after Renfrew).  Turn right on Kaslo.
bulletLocal travelers would be best to go to the nearest one of Renfrew and Boundary, (the North/South connectors) or Broadway and Lougheed Highway (the East/West connectors) to head directly to the Bridge Centre.

By Public Transit

The Vancouver Bridge Centre is happy to be located near Renfrew Station, which opened in November 2002.  This Skytrain station is part of the new Millennium Line and is located at Renfrew and Grandview Highway:  a 5-10 minute walk from our doorstep!
 
bulletBy SkyTrain, depart at Renfrew Station and walk up the hill on Kaslo Street.  You could also exit at Broadway station and catch the Broadway Bus (#9) eastbound.  (see below)
bulletFrom West Broadway, catch a (#99) Eastbound to Broadway Skytrain Station at Commercial Drive. The Broadway Bus (#9) eastbound will take you to Kaslo and Broadway (one stop before Renfrew).
bulletFrom Hastings area, take the (#35/135) Bus to Renfrew and Hastings and transfer to a (#16) Bus bound for 29th Avenue Station. Descend at the second stop at Broadway and Renfrew.

From Out Of Town

bullet Arrivals from within Canada by car will usually be on Highway 1.  Please follow the directions given above.
bullet Tsawwassen ferry arrivals should connect with Highway 99 North.  Follow the signs for the Knight Street Bridge and cross the bridge.  Drive up Knight (it will turn into Clark) until you get to Broadway (9th Avenue).  Turn right on Broadway and drive until you reach Kaslo and the Vancouver Bridge Centre.
bulletU.S. arrivals from the I-5 border crossing will already be on Highway 99 North.  Follow the signs for the Knight Street Bridge and cross the bridge.  Drive up Knight (it will turn into Clark) until you get to Broadway (9th Avenue).  Turn right on Broadway and drive until you reach Kaslo and the Vancouver Bridge Centre.
bullet Airport arrivals should cross the Arthur Liang Bridge into Vancouver, but keep right to head East on Marine Drive.  Head along Marine and turn left on Fraser.  Drive up Fraser until you get to Broadway (9th Avenue).  Turn right on Broadway and drive until you reach Kaslo and the Vancouver Bridge Centre.
