In 1899 J.S. O'Dwyer, engineer in charge of a Canadian Department of Railways and Canals survey party, found the bridge over the Suskwa near its Junction with the Bulkley washed away. Using the Indigigenous methods of the cantilever principle he and his men built a bridge 177 feet long, with a clear span of 67 feet, in just two days. The bridge was crossed successfully by loo horses and mules apparently at mile 4
