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 Falls is a 32 m waterfall located on the Hay River in the Northwest Territories. The falls, the third highest in the NWT, form part of the Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park and has its own day use area with a 3 km trail to the main campsite at Louise Falls, the second of the Twin Falls.

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. Though these structures are the remnants of the suspension bridge, the decking and cables having been removed in 1958, they are a reminder of the importance of bridges in this water-riven country.
Alexandra sits at the confluence of the Clutha/Mata-au and Manuherikia Rivers. Residents were keen for a bridge to replace the first river crossing service – a punt which had to negotiate the fearsome Clutha/Mata-au. When flooding in 1878 washed away the nearest bridge upstream at Clyde, the need for a bridge became urgent.
Vincent County engineer Leslie Duncan Macgeorge (1854-1939) designed for Alexandra a suspension bridge with two imposing schist stone piers and towers and abutments, with the assistance of consulting engineer Robert Hay (1847-1928). At the time of its construction, it was the longest suspension bridge in the country, exceeding the length of Macgeorge’s earlier suspension bridge designs. The total length of the roadway from bank to bank was 554 feet (168 metres). The centre arch was 262 feet 6 inches (close to 80 metres). The abutment on the east side was a solid mass of masonry 83 feet long and 26 feet high (25 by 8 metres) made up of blocks of stone on piles of totara and black pine, covered with a double deck of planking. The suspension wires were fixed to anchor rods. On the west site the moorings and pier were all on solid rock. The piers rose over 90 feet (27 metres) from the bedrock in the river. Eight three inch cables supported the structure. The height above the river at the centre of the bridge was 40 to 50 feet (12-15 metres).
Construction began in 1879 with Jeremiah Drummey (b.1833), William Beresford and James Simmond, winning the contract. Alexandra Bridge opened amidst local fanfare on 1 June 1882.
Alexandra Bridge was a key link on State Highway 8. By the 1950s however, the increasing traffic load was deemed to be too much for the single lane structure. A new bridge was built in 1958, parallel and just upstream of the old bridge. The old bridge’s suspension cables and decks were removed. The piers and towers, abutments and cable anchorages remain.
The Alexandra Bridge Piers and Towers and Abutments have outstanding engineering significance as the legacy of the important late nineteenth century local engineer, Macgeorge. They are a lasting tribute to the technical skill of both Macgeorge and the bridge’s contractors because of the bridge’s scale, design and survival. The structures are landmarks in Central Otago.
In 2013 the remaining elements of the Alexandra Bridge are an icon for the town.
Alexandra Arch (亚历山大拱桥)) is an 80-metre-long (260 ft) bridge that features a curved deck and tilted arch like an opened leaf, connecting Alexandra Road, Singapore and Hyderabad Road. It was designed by Buro Happold with LOOK Architects. The Gillman Village, which was a former British military camp in the early 20th century, now houses a mixture of restaurants, pubs and art galleries. Like the Henderson Waves bridge, Alexandra Arch will be lit with colour-changing LED lamps. At the end of the Alexandra Arch, there is a path lined with flowering plants which leads to the HortPark.
Alexandra Avenue Viaduct, Portland, Oregon. Buried in the forest and very difficult to photograph, built in 1922.
I met Alexandra outside the Blick art supply store in the Village. She is visual artist, mainly painting. You can check out her web site. We chatted for a bit about art and painting before walking around a few feet to this alley with a lot of cool graffiti to take some photos (I'm trying to be more patient and thoughtful about backgrounds).
As I told Alexandra, I was quite engaged in drawing and painting my entire youth, but got away from it for various reasons in college. Nowadays, photography is a way to express some visual creativity, without the huge investment in time and energy required by drawing and painting.
Good thing I ran in to Alexandra when I did -- 5 minutes later it was pouring rain.

Es handelt sich um den letzten erhaltenen Fördedampfer. Die Alexandra liegt heute in der Nähe des Museumshafen Flensburg und gehört zum Historischen Hafen Flensburgs.
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.

Picturesque Pallion... an area of Sunderland not exactly noted for its postcard views. The remnants of the area's heavily industrialised shipbuilding past still visible in this view, yet the setting sun adds a new dimension to the utilitarian-looking Alexandra Bridge.

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.
