flag The historic Raymur Overpass in East Vancouver is closed indefinitely due to safety concerns, disrupting students and residents' access to school and housing.

flag The Raymur Overpass in East Vancouver, a historic bridge named for mothers who fought for safer school access in 1971, has been closed indefinitely due to safety concerns from a recent inspection. flag The teal bridge, which connects social housing to Admiral Seymour Elementary School, now blocks direct access, forcing students and residents to take longer, riskier detours along Hastings or Union Streets, including crossing active train tracks. flag The city cited structural concerns requiring further assessment but provided no reopening timeline. flag School officials notified families via email, and local residents expressed frustration over the lack of priority compared to other neglected infrastructure, like closed tennis courts. flag The closure disrupts daily commutes, particularly for about 142 students, and has sparked calls for swift action to restore safe access.
