The Red Bridge [Explored]
In Explore 2019-12-13
I've always loved this old wooden bridge. As far as I can find out, the wooden trestles pictured here are the original structures dating back to 1936. The only reinforcing has been in the form of four steel piers which bolster the open span that goes across the river. The span was built high to accomodate boat traffic for at one time, paddlewheelers plied the waters of the Thompson River.
On this side of the river, the trestles rise up out of park land where one can hear the creaking of the wood as cars pass overhead.
