The '''Middle Arm Bridge''' is one of three transit bridges in [[Metro Vancouver]]. It spans the middle arm of the [[Fraser River]], linking [[Lulu Island]] with the [[Vancouver International Airport]] on [[Sea Island, British Columbia|Sea Island]].  It is used by the airport branch of the [[Canada Line]], which opened in August 2009.

The bridge is a [[box girder]] [[prestressed concrete]] bridge, and is built using cost-efficient [[cantilever]] construction. The integrated [[arch]] form is designed to appear minimal, while adequately supporting the weight of the trains that cross it.

The [[Moray Bridge]], a swing bridge nearby, was also previously referred to as the Middle Arm Bridge.
