The Revelstoke Bridge is one of several crossings of the Columbia River by the TransCanada Highway on its way through the British Columbia interior. Completed in 1961 and officially opened on July 28 of that year, the bridge is 310-meters (1,016 feet) in length. It is accompanied by a Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge, immediately to the southeast, and the old six span single lane truss bridge, opened in 1924, to the southeast of the railway bridge.
Like much of the TransCanada Highway in the vicinity, the bridge has only two lanes. This (the two lane highway) was one of the major reasons for the construction of the Coquihalla Highway, officially opened on May 16, 1986. It serves as a bypass for much of the BC section of the TransCanada, though not this section.
The epicenter of this Lucky 7 is a dedicated bench, the Tarrant Bench, located in Woodenhead Park, just to the east of the north end of the bridge, on the right bank of the Columbia River.
