Alexandra Bridge, Road bridge in Fraser Canyon, Canada

The Alexandra Bridge is a two-lane steel arch bridge on BC Highway 1, about 44 km north of Hope and 66 km south of Lytton. Its 487-metre length includes a 257-metre arch span and steel girder approach spans with concrete decks. Northeast to southwest, it crosses the Canadian National Railway, the Fraser River and the Canadian Pacific Railway.

In 1958 General Construction Co won the substructure contract for $589,167, but unexpected ground conditions halted work while the foundation design was revised. A.I.M. Steel built the steel superstructure from 1959 for $2,262,283, completing the steelwork in May 1962. Highways Minister Phil Gaglardi opened the $4 million bridge in October 1962, raising the highway's gross load allowance to 34,473 kilograms and trailer lengths to 18 metres.

In May 1963, Highways Minister Phil Gaglardi unveiled four aluminum fish sculptures, two at each end of the bridge. At the southwest end, a cairn commemorates the Royal Engineers who built the Cariboo Road.

Crossing during daylight hours is advisable, as the road at this exposed location can be affected by wind and weather conditions. Vehicles should maintain steady speed and watch for other traffic, especially during poor conditions.
