The Glenlilly Bridge crosses the Moyie River at Glenlilly Road, which leads west off Highway 95 about 8.3 kilometres north of the Canada-U.S. border. About 150 feet in length, this is a bog standard Bailey Bridge, with a double set of trusses on each side, a deck planked with what appears to be 2X8 lumber and no approach spans. The bridge supports, basically cribbing of wood timbers resting on concrete abutments, rest on the banks of the Moyie River. The bridge has the sag in the middle common to Bailey Bridges which have been in place for awhile, but we have no idea how long the bridge has been here, nor whether it may have been a "temporary" replacement.
Highway 95, south of the Highway 3 junction, was a section of road we had never driven, in spite of the fact that it is only 150 or so kilometres from our homebase. As you might imagine, we were mightily surprised to spy this bridge while motoring homeward on a short jaunt to Spokane and environs. After passing it we quickly decided that we'd better Waymark the bridge, in spite of the fact that this wasn't really a Waymarking trip. We made a hasty U-Turn, went back and "shot the bridge".
