The North Arm Bridge is an extradosed bridge in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It spans the north arm of the Fraser River, linking Vancouver to Richmond. It is used by trains on the Canada Line, which opened in August 2009.

The bridge also has a dedicated pedestrian and bicycle pathway underneath its wing on the west side, which was added by Translink at a cost of $10 million.[3]
