The Peace River Bridge is a bridge near Taylor, British Columbia, Canada crossing the Peace River. It replaced the Peace River Suspension Bridge, which collapsed on October 16, 1957.[1]
The bridge carries road traffic and is part of the Alaska Highway, designated British Columbia Highway 97. It is a metal bridge deck, which requires welding 2-4 times a year. There are talks of replacing the bridge to a new, four lane bridge, but it is still in the consultation progress.
