EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Original Alexandra Suspension Bridge, a historic engineering marvel located near Spuzzum, British Columbia. Built in 1863 and rebuilt in 1926, this steel arch-span bridge played a crucial role in the reconstruction of the Cariboo Wagon Road, a vital transportation route during the gold rush era. The bridge spans the mighty Fraser River on the north side of Spuzzum, providing a breathtaking view of the river's powerful currents and the towering mountains in the distance. The image, taken circa 1910, captures the essence of the bridge's rugged beauty. The steel arches, supported by sturdy piers, curve gracefully over the river, creating an intriguing contrast between the industrial strength of the bridge and the delicate ferns and trees that thrive in the surrounding forest. The mountains in the background, their peaks dusted with snow, add a sense of grandeur and scale to the scene. The Original Alexandra Suspension Bridge is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the pioneers who built it. It stands as a reminder of the rich history and natural wonders that make Canada a truly unique and beautiful country. This photograph is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the intersection of history, engineering, and natural beauty.
