File:Second Alexandra Bridge, BC, C.1950.jpg
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).
