The "Red Bridge"
South Thompson River
Kamloops, B.C.
I've always loved this old wooden bridge. Yes, that's wood even though it may look like metal in this shot. It was the first bridge across the river when it was built in 1890 and has been rebuilt twice since. The last iteration was built in 1936 and survives today, albeit with the reinforcing of four steel piers.
It's not clear how it came to be known as the Red Bridge but it's always been called that. The pedestrian walkway that was added on the far side of the bridge was painted red a few years ago.
