Brilliant Suspension Bridge

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 this one and it was abandoned. It was restored and declared a national historic site, and reopened as a footbridge in 2010.
