Lillooet Old Bridge

Lillooet Old Bridge
Lillooet, Canada (CA)
Located in a deep and a dramatic valley, this beautiful suspension bridge is a good representative example of a smaller-scale suspension bridge from the early 20th Century. The two tower suspension bridge features a main central span that is supported by the main cable by suspenders and has a wooden pony truss for stiffening. The arm spans between the towers and the anchorages are not supported by any suspenders from the main cable and are instead supported by other means. The towers of the bridge are composed of traditional built-up riveted beams that include attractive v-lacing.
