was opened on December 8, 1985, after being built to a tight timescale so as to be available for Expo 86 in May 1986. City engineer W.H. Curtis was assisted by E.A. West, Assistant City Engineer, Streets & Structures, who was closely involved in its construction. The 1985 bridge is of a twin post-tensioned prestressed concrete type in a continuous span. The total structural length is ; it carries 6 lanes of traffic and a pedestrian walkway. The colouring of the concrete was obtained through the addition of volcanic ash from Mount Lassen to the mix. Under the bridge's south end is the Neighbourhood Energy Utility, a city-owned heat transfer station that provides heating and hot water to all new buildings in Southeast False Creek. Both sides of the bridge include pedestrian sidewalks separated from motor vehicle traffic by concrete barriers. The Cambie Bridge ranks second of the three False Creek bridges by measure of pedestrian crossings. A 2002 study measured over 1,500 pedestrians crossing the Cambie Bridge in 11 hours on a weekday. The wider east sidewalk is shared with bicycles. Bicycles are also permitted on the bridge roadway in both directions. The Cambie Bridge is often used as part of the running route for events such as the Vancouver Sun Run, the BMO Vancouver Marathon, and the CIBC Run for the Cure. Two TransLink bus routes cross the Cambie Bridge: 17 and N15. On January 17, 2018, the City of Vancouver announced plans to remove a car lane using it as a bike lane. It noted that the volume of motor vehicles using the bridge has decreased on the last 20 years with at least 80,000 bike trips daily on the bridge. The bike lane was officially constructed on June 2, 2018 and opened on June 25, 2018. In the summer of 2021, an interactive augmented reality mural called Voxel Bridge was installed under Cambie Bridge as part of the Vancouver Biennale.
