This crossing takes place just 1.5 kilometres south of the North Thompson-Albreda River confluence and the first crossing by the highway. 79C627 is monumented in the top of the west abutment of the North Thompson River Bridge, at its south end. Not quite as picturesque as the crossing to the north, an arch bridge, this is a more conventional steel girder bridge.
