Brilliant Suspension Bridge, National historic suspension footbridge in Castlegar, Canada.

Brilliant Suspension Bridge is a footbridge with steel cables and wooden decking that was built in 1913 to span the Kootenay River. The structure uses cable suspension to cross the water and serves pedestrians and cyclists with a direct passage between the two banks.

The bridge was built in 1913 and served as an important crossing for decades until the construction of Highway 3A Bridge in 1966 led to its temporary closure. After many years of disuse, it reopened in 2010 and was integrated into the Trans Canada Trail system.

The bridge reflects the Doukhobor community's presence in the region, as they built it to demonstrate their technical capabilities and establish their settlement. It stands as a mark of their determination to build a lasting future in British Columbia.

The bridge is open to pedestrians and cyclists, with a wooden deck that can be slippery when wet. It is best visited in clear weather when visibility is good and conditions are safe.

The bridge was built in 1913 by Doukhobors who had settled in the area, replacing a ferry that had long carried people across the Kootenay River. After the 1966 highway bridge took over traffic, it stood abandoned for decades before reopening to walkers in 2010.
