Prince Rupert Daily News, 15 November 1937, p. 1: the Pattullo Bridge opened

Read from the archive's OCR text, 12 Oct 2026. Canadian Press: the bridge, under construction "since October, 1935 when the Dominion Bridge Company was awarded the contract," overall length "some 7800 feet," cost "approximately $4,000,000," opened by Pattullo with the Public Works Minister F. M. MacPherson and Mayor Fred Hume of New Westminster. (On 9 September the paper had noted a movement in New Westminster "for the abolition of the tolls by which the Pattullo Bridge was financed"; the tolls were lifted on 12 February 1952.)
