Park Bridge, Highway bridge in Kicking Horse Canyon, British Columbia, Canada
Description
Park Bridge is a highway bridge that spans across the Kicking Horse River through a narrow mountain canyon in British Columbia. It carries traffic through dramatic terrain where steep valley walls frame the crossing.
History
The bridge was built to replace an aging route that could not handle modern traffic demands through the canyon. Its completion in the early 2000s upgraded a critical mountain passage for the region.
Culture
The bridge forms an essential part of the Trans-Canada Highway infrastructure, connecting communities and supporting regional commerce in British Columbia.
Practical
The bridge remains open year-round and is well maintained for all vehicle types with safety features throughout. Visitors should expect variable mountain weather conditions, particularly during the winter season.
Did you know?
The engineering had to overcome extreme challenges to safely suspend the structure above the deep valley while carrying heavy loads. This achievement created a safe passage through one of the country's most difficult mountain sections.
