When completed as a toll bridge in 1926 (although it didn't see traffic until May 24, 1927), it created the first, complete road link between Yale and Lytton since the 1880s. Use as a highway traffic structure ceased in 1964 when replaced by the New Alexandra Bridge (1962). Although no longer used for traffic, this older structure still stands as a Fraser Canyon attraction at the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park, located 2 kilometers north of Spuzzum, BC (40 km north of Hope, BC).
