BC Hydro to donate the John Hart pedestrian bridge to Rotary Club

December 12, 2023

The pedestrian bridge that crosses over the old John Hart penstock corridor will be removed by January and donated to the Rotary Club of Campbell River.

The bridge was installed by BC Hydro in 2013 as part of the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project to allow for continued public access to the Elk Falls Provincial Park during project construction. Over the last ten years, there’s been about three million bridge crossings with people walking to and back from Elk Falls. Now, with the old penstock corridor to be largely filled in over the next year with material as a result of the John Hart Dam Seismic Upgrade Project, the bridge is no longer needed as the trail will become land-based.
