When it was built in 1882, the Alexandra Bridge was one of the country’s largest, strongest and most beautiful bridges, a feat of engineering. In 2013 the surviving piers, towers and abutments of the bridge are a monument to the skills of its engineer Leslie Duncan Macgeorge. The structures have withstood the power of the Clutha/Mata-au, one of New Zealand’s largest and swiftest rivers, for over 130 years.
The old single lane suspension bridge (the stone pillars) was built in 1882 and closed in 1958 when the steel bridge was opened. It crosses the Mata-au / Clutha river which runs from Lakes Wanaka and Hawea to the sea and also drains lakes Wakatipu (Queenstown) and Dunstan (Cromwell). We were waiting to charge our EV when I took this. My wife started talking to a couple also taking in the view. When we walked back to the car it turned out the other couple had been charging their car :)
Thanks for cruising by.
Taking a nature break today. Recently worked with Alexandra Farber, a dancer with the Texas Ballet Theatre. Like so many other live event groups, they are struggling in the pandemic. Please remember to find a way to support the arts and artists in your area. Fort Worth, Texas, USA, September 2020

The Alexandra Lodge was once a waypoint for those seeking riches in the goldfields of British Columbia. In later years it provided luxurious accommodation along the Trans Canada highway. Many once passed through these walls including paupers and kings. I’ve written a blog post with additional details and photos. The link is in my profile.
The Alexandra Road Estate in South Hampstead was designed in a brutalist style by architect Neave Brown and was completed in 1978.

The new Alexandra Bridge can be seen about 1 mile south from the old bridge. It was opened in 1964 along with a series of new tunnels in the Fraser Canyon constructed around the same time to accommodate a new wider highway, rather than keeping the narrow road that was essentially little improvement over the Gold Rush Trail used by camels, horses, donkeys and carts/caravans originally.
The "new" bridge is currently (2018) under renovations of some sort.
"The Alexandra Bridge is a steel arch-span bridge crossing the Fraser River on the north side of Spuzzum, British Columbia and 39 km from Hope, on the Trans-Canada Highway in the Fraser Canyon region of southern British Columbia, Canada. It was constructed between 1960 and 1964 and is the third structure in the area named the Alexandra Bridge.
"Built as part of the modernization of the earlier highway by the British Columbia Ministry of Highways during the late 1950s and early 1960s, it replaced the Alexandra Suspension Bridge of 1926, just upstream, which was part of the reconstruction of the Cariboo Wagon Road which was renamed the Fraser Canyon Highway in 1924-25. This second Alexandra Bridge, which itself replaced the original Alexandra Suspension Bridge of 1863 (destroyed in 1894 and remains dismantled in 1912), is still in existence as part of the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park and has not seen automobile traffic since 1964."

PASSENGER STEAMER “ALEXANDRA”
Built in 1908, “Alex” is the floating landmark of Flensburg. She is one of the only passenger steamboats in Germany still in operation. You can head out to sea on the Alexandra from May until October. In addition to offering public cruises on selected Sundays, she is also present at the major port festivals like the Rumregatta and the Dampf Rundum steamboat parade.

Alexandra Bridge was completed in 1863 as part of the world-famous “Cariboo Wagon Road” which connected Fort Yale to the gold fields of Barkerville.
Declared the “eighth wonder of the world” when it was completed in 1865, the wagon road played a key role in the gold rush economy of the 1860’s, and in the development of the new colony of British Columbia.
The Alexandra Bridge you see today was built in 1926, when the Cariboo Wagon Road was upgraded for automobiles. When you visit this historic suspension bridge today, look for the original 1863 stone footings which can clearly be seen supporting the 1926 structure. The 1926 highway and bridge were superseded by the modern highway we travel today (completed in the early 1960’s).
At Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park in the Fraser Canyon, you can see the historic bridge, as well as surviving sections of the Cariboo Wagon Road. Access is easy, with a one-kilometer, gently-graded trail linking the parking lot to the bridge.

This 80m long bridge looks like an opened leaf across Alexandra Road, with its curved deck intersecting an arch that is tilted at a 70-degree angle.
Alexandra Arch is lit up by LED lights at night. The lights change colour at intervals from 7pm to 12am daily, displaying varying shades from the colour spectrum of dusk.

Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located in the Fraser Canyon approximately two kilometres (one mile) north of Spuzzum and 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Hope.
During the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush in 1858, a ferry service was established here.
The original Alexandra Bridge of the Cariboo Road, was built in 1863.
The original bridge was destroyed by the rising waters of the Fraser Flood of 1894.
After World War I the dawn of the automotive era saw a reinvestment in roads in the province, including the re-opening of the Fraser Canyon to road traffic in the form of the new Cariboo Highway in the 1920s, and a new suspension bridge was built upon the footings of the original in 1926 (with a deck level ten feet higher than the previous design).
I remember travelling over this bridge in the family car in 1957 when this was still part of the highway.
It ceased to be used for automobile traffic in 1964. The new Alexandra Bridge, constructed by the B.C. Ministry of Highways in 1960-64, is approximately two kilometres (one mile) downstream and uses a high truss-arch span to cross the canyon.
Whenever I pass this way, if I have time, I stop and take the trail down to the old bridge. The bridge deck is one of those steel grates that you can see through to the river below - it makes some people nervous! ☺
The Fraser River is always fascinating to me. In salmon spawning season you can observe the salmon working their way up stream on their way to the spawning grounds.
Right now the river is in Spring run-off.
It's a high as I have ever seen it.

Allí posa estacionada, junto a las que una vez fueron de la misma empresa. No tenía fotos de Alexandra, así que buen momento mientras dormían para hacerle unas cuantas capturas.
