Grand re opening of 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 this one and it was abandoned. Restoration began in the early 1990s, and the bridge was declared a national historic site in 1995. It reopened as a footbridge in 2010.
