The Bridge

Deh Cho/Mackenzie River Bridge

The Deh Cho Bridge is a one km-long cable-stayed bridge across a 1.6 km span of the Mackenzie River on the Yellowknife Highway near Fort Providence, Northwest Territories.

I’ve crossed many bridges, both physical and figurative. Some have been “cable-stayed” and others have been ready to fall into an immense crevasse.

The figurative bridges have sometimes been the very worst and I would have given anything to have had decking under my feet.

How about you?

Mighty Mackenzie River

The Northwest Territories’ Mackenzie River is the centre point of the longest river system in Canada, and includes the second largest drainage basin of any North American river after the Mississippi.

At times, it’s large enough to make you feel as if you’re on an ocean.

Happy Friday. 🙂
