Hello friends following this incredible challenge #celestialchallenge today structures Wednesday I will be talking about one of the most important bridges currently the "Port Mann".

The Port Mann Bridge is located in Vancouver, Canada, crossing the Fraser River, and with almost 2 kilometers long it is one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world. It has a length of 2,073 meters and a width of 65 meters, with 10 lanes of circulation, 5 for each direction.

The total height is about 163 meters, with some towers protruding from the bridge deck about 75 meters. This cable-stayed bridge entered the Guinness Book of Records, due to its width of 65 meters and is part of the Port Mann project. The construction of this bridge began in 2009 and ended in 2012. This bridge is a great road artery for said city since it is estimated that about 130,000 vehicles pass it daily.
