Blast heralds final chapter for Fraser River bridge.
Last week, some of the final pieces of the Port Mann bridge that has spanned the Fraser River since 1964 were blasted. The implosion is captured in the video (below).
Explosives were used to carefully bring down the last girders on the Surrey side of the old bridge.
The three 70 metre long, 600 tonne girders were dropped onto the ground where they will be cut and removed for recycling. The demolition was part of ongoing dismantling work to remove the original Port Mann Bridge. Bridge demolition work is expected to continue through 2015
