Alexandra Suspension Bridge
Alexandra Bridge Park is a small BC Parks day-use site preserving the historic crossing point where Joseph Trutch's 1861 Cariboo Wagon Road bridge—named after Princess Alexandra of Wales—once spanned the Fraser River. Touring cyclists on the Trans-Canada Highway through the Fraser Canyon will find it a natural rest stop with picnic facilities, situated about 40 km north of Hope with access from both highway directions. The park occupies territory that has served as a Fraser River crossing and fishing ground for over 9,500 years, lending it exceptional cultural and historical depth.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Nłeʔkepmx Tmíxʷ (Nlaka’pamux) and Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla.
