The newest section of the Trans-Canada Trail, a pedestrian bridge in Princeton, was officially opened to the public Thursday.
The structure was built where the old Kettle Valley Railway Bridge used to be next to Highway 5A in Princeton.
Up until now, pedestrians and cyclists had to use the highway to cross the river, which was considered a dangerous detour.
The $1 million structure completes 113 kilometres of uninterrupted trail in the Princeton area.
Locals call it “˜The Bridge of Dreams’ and was designed by Structurecraft Builders, the same company that designed the Richmond Olympic speed skating oval.
