This is one of four existing railway bridges on the old Kettle Valley Railway, now Trans Canada Trail, that were converted from railway bridges to pedestrian/biking friendly crossings for the trail. The crossings were completed by the Canadian Military Engineers, assisted by the Royal Engineers on two of the crossings from 2002 to 2004.
The bridges were named Canadian Railway Troops Crossing after the First World War Canadian Railway Troops who were part of the Canadian Engineers.
The location of the four crossings are: Cascade, Grand Forks (first crossing completed, southwest of Cascade Falls), Grand Forks (trail at end of Nagraeff or Popoff Roads 49), and Grand Forks (near Kettle River Drive and 13th Street).
