Christina Lake pedestrian bridge opens

You can now walk or bike across the new pedestrian bridge at Christina Lake.

The bridge, which has a steel frame and roof and a wooden deck, crosses Christina Creek a little downstream of the highway bridge. The closest connecting roads on either side are Park and Kimura.

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary says it’s for non-motorized use only.

“It was a big team effort to bring this project to fruition,” the RDKB said in a Facebook post today. “Our sincerest and most heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team of professionals brought together who turned this bridge from a dream into a reality.”

A ribbon cutting is planned in April and a grand opening celebration later in the year.
