The province is home to a multitude of rivers and mountain torrents that had to be bridged to create both railway connections and the modern road network. Their vital nature was exposed in November 2021 when so many bridges in the Coquihalla and Nicola valleys were wrecked by floods and landslides, disrupting the entire province. British Columbia has over three thousand bridges, in a surprising variety, with uses ranging from crossing a river to bungee jumping. Many are graceful works of art and a tempting subject for the photographer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are collapses and demolitions by explosions, as well as challenging bridge relocations.
