Constructed using the most advanced technologies available at the time, the Alexandra Bridge stands as evidence of the outstanding ingenuity and foresight of Canadian engineers. G. Dunn served as Chief Railway Engineer, H.J. Beemer as General Contractor, C.H. Deans as Contractor for the piers, and the Dominion Bridge Company built the superstructure. Construction began in February 1898 and the bridge was inaugurated in March 1901.
