The "Columbia River Skywalk" is Trail's pedestrian bridge, crossing the mighty Columbia River. It was built to replace the crumbling "Old Bridge" (which is still standing downstream). It spans about 300 metres, from Rotary Park in West Trail to McQuarrie Street in East Trail, and is one of the longest suspension bridges of its kind in North America. While walking the bridge, you will also be able to see the Victoria Street Bridge upstream. At night, that bridge is lit up with programmable LED lights. Bonus sight!
To log this virtual, you must go to Ground Zero (the middle of the bridge). On either side, the cables meet at a large metal plate (about 2 ft square). Not including the red bolts on the bottom, how many bolts are on each plate? Now check the plaques at either end of the bridge - What date was the Columbia River Skywalk officially opened?
Post a picture (that doesn't give either of the answers, of course!) of the bridge or the river.
Send your answers through Message or E-mail, but you can log immediately.
Parking is available on the East Trail (McQuarrie St) side of the bridge (Safeway, Butler Ball Field, Aquatic Centre)
