Kiskatinaw Bridge

The Kiskatinaw Bridge is a must-see attraction for travelers following the Alaska Highway. Located just north of Dawson Creek at Mile 21, this historic landmark stands as a remarkable reminder of early engineering achievement and the pioneering spirit that built the North. Constructed in 1942, the 122-meter (400-foot) wooden truss bridge features a distinctive nine-degree curve that showcases the ingenuity of its builders.

The bridge was designed to adapt to the region’s challenging terrain while connecting vital sections of the Alaska Highway. Today, it remains the only surviving curved, banked trestle bridge from the original highway construction in Western Canada. Visitors can walk across the structure and take in beautiful views of the Kiskatinaw River and surrounding forest.

Nearby Kiskatinaw Provincial Park offers picnic areas and scenic trails that follow the riverbank, making it a great spot to relax and explore. The area captures the rich history of the Alaska Highway and the natural beauty of northern British Columbia, creating an unforgettable stop on any Dawson Creek journey.
