Description
Historian and bestselling author Derek Hayes brings hundreds of colour
photographs, archival images and illustrations together with a
meticulously researched commentary on the bridges, tunnels and inland
ferries that connect British Columbia.The very nature of the topography
of BC has meant that engineers have had to be innovative in their
solutions to formidable barriers, and the province is home to a
multitude of rivers and mountain torrents that had to be bridged to
create both railway connections and the modern road network. Their vital
nature was exposed in November 2021 when so many bridges in the
Coquihalla and Nicola valleys were wrecked by floods and landslides,
disrupting the entire province. British Columbia has over three thousand
bridges, in a surprising variety, with uses ranging from crossing a
river to bungee jumping, and many are graceful works of art and a
tempting subject for the photographer.There are collapses and
demolitions by explosions as well as challenging bridge relocations.
There are suspension bridges, and cable-stayed bridges, both wooden and
steel trusses. There were once five covered bridges and one is still
left today. Photographer and historian Derek Hayes traversed the
province to find crossings with the most interesting stories and
structures, combining artistic images and intriguing history in a book
for anyone with an interest in engineering, transportation history and
the story of the province of British Columbia itself.
