Stoney Creek Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) truss arch in southeastern British Columbia. This single-track crossing over Stoney Creek is in Glacier National Park, between Revelstoke and Golden. The first bridge in this location was constructed of wood by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) and opened in 1885. It was replaced by a steel bridge in 1894.
