Crossing Dutch Creek about 4.5 kilometres south of Fairmont Hot Springs, this bridge's benchmark was placed in a slightly different location than all the others on Highway 95, on the highway side of the abutment. At the northeast corner of the bridge on the southeast side of the highway, 84C285 is on the top of the low extension of the abutment inside of the railing. Only about six inches above the road surface and at sidewalk height, it should be a cinch to spot once one gets to the correct corner of the bridge.
Note the large cliff of hoodoos to the east of the bridge. They alone are worth stopping to have a look at.
