Alexandra Bridge

[leapin]

A while back my wife and I went exploring and found this bridge. Its an abandoned highway bridge. The area its in is known as the fraser canyon. When the highway first opened it was extremely curvy. What now takes about 3 hours to do used to take a few days. To get to it you park on the side of todays highway and follow the old highway for a few miles through the bush. Its very surreal to stand on such an old piece of history. It was built in 1916 and rebuilt in 1926 after a flood and used until the early 60's.





put our names on it!

Walk on it yes. Drive on it, Well you cant drive down to it because about halfway down the road they dug up the road for train tracks. It LOOKS good enough to drive on but it would be iffy.
