Capilano Creek Bridge, December 1917. The wooden bridge over Capilano Creek at Keith Road collapsed and in December 1917 the new Marine Drive bridge went out. A temporary wooden replacement was made, and remained until a new steel span was built in 1931. Another steel span was washed out in November 1949.
