Another Bailey or its descendant...
is located just west of CFB Chilliwack (erected by the Engineers based there) on the road leading to Abbotsford and Vancouver. It is a great way to avoid driving North to the Trans Canada and then Southwest in order to get to the same place. Needless to say the locals love being able to make the crossing, even if they don't all know or appreciate the history of the bridge. Again, no photos, the last time I was out there the RCMP had taken over most of the base, the H-huts that had lasted for over 60 years of use and abuse had been flattened and thankfully the hated gas hut had met a similar fate. It is depressing how often we seem to put up a major complex at a base just in time to close the base.
Location added if you want to Google Earth to see why the locals find it so useful: N49°06'11" W122°04'39"
