Bridge of the Twenty-Three Camels, Highway bridge over Fraser River in Lillooet, Canada

The Bridge of the Twenty-Three Camels spans the Fraser River with five main sections, carrying British Columbia Highway 99 across the water for approximately 340 meters. The structure connects the town of Lillooet to the surrounding region on both sides.

The bridge opened on June 26, 1981, replacing the 1913 Lillooet Suspension Bridge just upstream. Transportation and Highways Minister Alex Fraser and Thomas Waterland, Minister of Forests and MLA for Yale-Lillooet, opened it. Its name refers to the Cariboo camels imported in 1862 to haul freight in the region.

The name refers to the Cariboo camels, imported to the region to haul freight in 1862, not during the 1858 gold rush. As a joke on this name, the crossing of the Yalakom River at Moha, a small concrete truss span, carries the sign "Bridge of the Twenty-Three Chipmunks".

The bridge carries vehicles daily across the Fraser River as the main crossing for Highway 99 in the area. Weather conditions can change quickly, so travelers passing through should be prepared for variable road conditions, especially during colder months.

The joke travelled upstream: the small concrete truss span carrying the road over the Yalakom River at Moha, a locality in the region, is signed "Bridge of the Twenty-Three Chipmunks". The sign plays on the camels' name, and drivers on that secondary crossing can spot it as a local pun.
