The North Thompson makes an abrupt right turn here, joins the Albreda River and begins its southward journey to meet with the South Thompson at Kamloops. Just before the river turns south, the Yellowhead crosses over on this bridge, one of the handful of steel arch bridges to be found along the Thompson River. 79C626 is monumented in the top of the west abutment of the bridge, at its north end.
