Peace River Suspension Bridge, Suspension bridge in Taylor, Canada
The Peace River Suspension Bridge stretched 649 meters across the Peace River, connecting both sides of the valley near Taylor, British Columbia.
Built in 1943 as part of the Alaska Highway infrastructure, the bridge stood as the longest crossing point along this critical transportation route.
The bridge location marks a significant crossing point for local communities, connecting inhabitants on both sides of the Peace River valley.
After its collapse in 1957, traffic was temporarily redirected over a railway trestle until workers completed construction of a replacement structure.
The bridge's construction during World War II required specific engineering techniques to span the wide river valley in northern British Columbia.
