It is part of the greenway which is a gravel path on the south side of the tracks and bike lanes on Winston on the north side of the tracks. The bridge was required because the railway would not allow a level crossing at the tracks. Sometimes trains are stopped blocking the crossing.
The bridge also serves as a connection from the SkyTrain station to Burnaby Lake Park. Burnaby also wants to build a bike/ped bridge across Hwy 1 at Sperling and this bridge will be part of that route.
