English: "Alexandra Bridge on Trans-Canada Highway"
Post Card. Made in Canada by J.C. Walker, Vancouver, B.C. The second Alexandra Suspension Bridge and Fraser Canyon Highway (Cariboo Highway) over the Fraser River at the time of the implementation of the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy. 1) in 1950. View looking NE. When completed as a toll bridge in 1926 (although it didn't see traffic until May 24, 1927), it created the first, complete road link between Yale and Lytton since the 1880s. Use as a highway traffic structure ceased in 1964 when replaced by the New Alexandra Bridge (1962). Although no longer used for traffic, this older structure still stands as a Fraser Canyon attraction at the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park, located 2 kilometers north of Spuzzum, BC (40 km north of Hope, BC). |
