Over Thunder River is a steel girder bridge with 79C641 monumented in the top of the northwest bridge abutment, just outboard of the stepped corner post. Just northwest of the bridge, on the north side of the river, is the Thunder River Rest Area. NRCAN describes the location as the "northeast end of bridge", but it is the northwest corner, on the west side of the highway.

One may safely pull off the road at the end of the barriers off each end of the bridge.
