Newspaper clipping attached to verso of photograph reads: "Road builders created a sandpile for a giant with the first stage of the $917, 000 Cariboo Rd. overpass in Burnaby. Started several weeks ago the overpass actually consists of two bridges - one crossing railway tracks and Government St., the other spanning the Brunette River - and is expected to be complete early next year."

Aerial photograph of Stormont Overpass which would provide a direct link from the Trans Canada Highway (previously named the 401 Freeway) to the Lougheed Highway and Simon Fraser University. This was taken when the excavation work was completed, and grading and paving still need to be done.

Newspaper clipping attached to verso of photograph reads: "After six years, work on the Stormont interchange in Burnaby is only a few weeks from completion. The huge clover-leaf junction of Gaglardi Way and the Freeway is on the top left-hand corner, with Gaglardi Way approaching from the bottom right where a bridge has been completed over the Burlington Northern tracks. An embankment linking that bridge with one over the Brunette River awaits only a layer of tarmac, and a path has been cleared through the woods to link up with the clover-leaf. The present access to the Freeway is along the road running from the left to right across the middle of the picture. The interchange will open next month."
Note in pencil on verso of photograph reads: "Altair Aviation / photo by / Craig Hodge"

The Burnaby Lake Line was constructed due to the advocacy of Burnaby residents and the Municipality of Burnaby to build the line. A petition was circulated by residents in 1907, and eventually substantial land bonuses were given to the company to induce them to build the line. Property owners in the area hoped the construction of the line would increase their land values. Construction of the 15-mile line was announced in 1909, and the line opened in 1911. The line travelled from Vancouver to New Westminister through central Burnaby.The last day of service was October 23, 1953. When the Trans Canada highway was constructed in the 1960s, it followed the right of way of the Burnaby Lake Line through Burnaby.
The convenient location of Willingdon Heights to the Trans Canada Highway, Lougheed Highway and Hastings Street has fostered its development as a primarily residential commuter neighbourhood. Characterised in the post-World War Two period by predominantly single-family developments, the neighbourhood has retained this identity despite some higher density apartment buildings now found there.
