External Links:

  • Walcott Suspension Bridge on Bulkley River - Northern BC Archives. Image taken in 1932 stating the bridge was "moved from its original location in the Hagwilget Canyon" implying this is the relocated 1912 Bulkely/Hagwilget Canyon suspension bridge that was replaced in 1931. The two bridges, however, don't appear to resemble each other and the Walcott bridge's main span appears to have been about 50 feet shorter than the 1912 Bulkely Canyon bridge . Perhaps only the cables were reused.
