French Creek runs into the Strait of Georgia on the east side of
Vancouver Island and separates the two towns of Qualicum Beach and
Parksville. Although not a large river, it still forms quite a
barrier between the two towns, and the only crossing places are the
Island Highway and the Inland Island Highway, both very busy roads.
This functional, if slightly uninspiring, foot- and cycle-bridge was
built in 2000 by the combined efforts of the local inhabitants and
affords a lightly-trafficked route between two neighbouring towns. The
Qualicum Beach and
Regional District of
Nanaimo websites both provide a little information.
