The iconic Port Mann Bridge has been the subject of awe for its size and scope, controversy for winter ice bombs that required some tricky engineering and even perplexity for continuing to lose money on tolls.
But now folks can get up close and personal with the stately crossing — and get a peek at the traffic below — by bidding on a silent auction fundraiser to benefit Share Family and Community Services.
The tour and birds-eye view atop the bridge's south tower were donated by TI Corp and TReO, which are offering the winning bidder and four guests (five individual passes total) training and a visit.
Money raised in auctioning the bridge visit and other items will benefit Share, a social community services agency that served 57,000 Tri-City residents last year.
You can bid online for The Tour the Top of the Port Mann Bridge (056GC) with bids closing at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 4, the same night Share holds its Imagine 2017 fundraiser, at the Molson Canadian Theatre, Hard Rock Casino.
General admission tickets are still available for this event that will feature a Through the Looking Glass theme, a tasting competition, entertainment raffles, games of chance and a live and silent auction.
To bid on the silent auction items or find out more about the event, and to purchase tickets, visit shareimagine.com.
