Brilliant Suspension Bridge, National historic suspension footbridge in Castlegar, Canada.
The Brilliant Suspension Bridge stretches across the Kootenay River, connecting both sides with its steel cables and wooden deck construction from 1913.
The bridge served as a vital transportation link until 1966, when the construction of Highway 3A Bridge led to its temporary abandonment.
The Doukhobor community demonstrated their engineering skills by constructing this bridge, marking their settlement and progress in British Columbia.
The bridge reopened in 2010 as part of the Trans Canada Trail system, providing a crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists.
The structure incorporates an observation platform offering views of the Kootenay River and surrounding mountainous landscape.
