"The Fraser Canyon Highway Tunnels were constructed in the late 1950's to about the mid 1960's as part of the Trans Canada project. There are seven tunnels in total, the shortest being 57 m (190 ft); the longest, is 610 meters (2,000 ft) and is one of North America's longest. They are situated between Yale and Boston Bar. In order from south to north, they are: Yale, Saddle Rock, Sailor Bar, Alexandra, Hell's Gate, Freebee and China Bar. The Hell's Gate tunnel is the only tunnel that does not have lights, while the China Bar tunnel is the only tunnel that requires ventilation. A recent project on some of the Fraser Canyon Tunnels has been to install warning lights that are activated by cyclists before they enter the tunnel. This was required because the tunnel is curved.

The Old Alexandra Lodge is the third lodge to have been constructed and was built in the 1920's. Since 1858 there has always been a lodge or road house located on the site at the Chapman's Sandbar in Fraser Canyon. In the 1970's it was titled British Columbia's second most historic building. Although this was later removed as there is some controversy over the origins of the structure and whether all sections are from the original structure. The historic Alexandra Lodge is currently being used as residences and will hopefully be resorted to its former beauty in the near future. It is located on the Trans-Canada Highway to the east of Alexandra Provincial Park.

The Aerial Ferry was constructed in 1939, officially opening to the public on March 15 1940. It operated as an aerial ferry (gondola) that suspended 1200 feet horizontally from the Cascade Mountain Range to the Coast Pacific Mountain Range and crossing the Fraser River in the mighty Fraser Canyon. The Aerial Ferry last operated in 1986 when it was replaced with the Cog Harrington Bridge because of increasing timber volumes and a higher demand for faster transportation. The Aerial ferry has been fully restored and is open for public viewing in the Francis Harrington Park along the Trans-Canada highway in downtown Boston Bar BC. The park is accompanied with a wide range of displays depicting the history of Boston Bar and the Fraser Canyon. Open year round it serves as an exciting and educational resting area while you visit the scenic Fraser Canyon.
