The Brilliant Suspension Bridge
The Brilliant Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge over the Kootenay River near Castlegar, British Columbia. It was built in 1913 by Doukhobors settled in the area to replace a ferry across the river. In 1966 the new Highway 3A bridge replaced the suspension bridge, which was abandoned until work to restore is began in the early 1990s. The bridge was declared a national historic site in 1995, and was reopened as a footbridge in 2010.
