ZUCKERBERG ISLAND.
Built as a field exercise project in 1984 by the 44th Field Engineer Squadron, the bridge was allowed to remain in place as a connection to the island. The 473 foot bridge was erected that spring with donated materials and won the coveted Canadian Militia Hertzberg Award.
The 44th Field Engineer Squadron is based in Trail, BC, about 25 km. south of Castlegar. They are responsible for many structures, similar and dissimilar, in the southern BC area.
