The Historic Red Bridge1249 viewsProbably the best known landmark in the South Similkameen is the Red Bridge. Built in 1907 as a railway bridge, it now handles road traffic to and from the Ashnola Valley. Unlike the covered bridges of the east, the wooden planks covering this bridge are designed to protect the bridge superstructure itself, not the travelers.
