Here is the progress of the new Link building. It is supposed to bridge the Domestic Terminal and the International Terminal as well as being the entry point for passengers arriving via transit from downtown Vancouver on the yet to be opened (2009 scheduled to open) Canada Line (A fully automated railway system).
Both the Link building and the Canada Line are being ready for the 2010 Olympic Winter games in Vancouver

Great photography! This gives an insight as to what the terminal will be like when everything is completed, including the Canada Line. Vancouver Airport must be one of the most architecturally striking in the world. Hopefully, new airlines will be attracted to the airport as well. This is truly a unique introduction to Canada. YVR is great.
