The Oak Street Bridge is a crossing over the north arm of the Fraser River, the Canada Line, and several roads, in Metro Vancouver.

[18] The premier announced that the 25-cent toll would remain for 12½ years[19] to cover construction costs for both the Oak St. and Moray bridges.

To strengthen the under-reinforced girders, glass fibre reinforced polymer wraps, the most flexible of possible composites, were chosen.

[39] At the south end of the Oak St. Bridge, construction started in 1960 on the first hotel at the highway interchange.

[46] On cleared land hugging the east side of the southern approach, two midrise office buildings and two hotels are under construction.
