The historic Alexandra Suspension Bridge crosses the Fraser River in BC, Canada.

The Alexandra Suspension Bridge was the first bridge to cross over the Fraser River in BC, Canada. Built in 1863 near Spuzzum, the bridge is built along a section of the Cariboo Wagon Road between Spuzzum and Lytton. Spanning a narrow section of the river, the Alexandra Suspension Bridge is approximately 300 feet or 90 metres in length and was the first suspension bridge in BC.
