[6] After a change of mind, the flimsy conventional ferry installed was dangerous in the strong current.

[7] In 1899, upgrades were made after sidelining the unsafe ferry,[8] being damaged by high water,[9] or being carried over a mile downriver and piling up.

[11] Formerly known as West Fork,[12] the new name (first appearing in a December 1899 newspaper)[13] likely alluded to the plodding bridge construction.

[17] In 1955–56, the remaining 8 kilometres (5 mi) of highway from Rock Creek were widened, gravelled, and paved.

[18] In 1977–78, Kenyon Construction was awarded the bridge replacement contract,[19] which realigned the highway southeastward.

[31] In 1961, BC Hydro transmission lines introduced electricity to the locality,[32] and a new school building was erected.

[37] Near the north end of the bridge, the hotel was long demolished, but the abandoned store remained until destroyed by fire in 2005.

[38] The westward advance of the Kettle Valley Railway (KV) rail head passed by Westbridge in spring 1911[39][40] and Rhone in fall.

[42] The Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) motive is unclear for the establishment of the Zamora station in close proximity.

[61] In 1902, the wagon road appears to have advanced, because the stage route from Midway was extended to Beaverdell.

[65] In 1900, the promoters of the former Canyon City (which never took root) built a 34-kilometre (21 mi) wagon road north up the Kettle River from Westbridge.

[66] In the late 1910s, this rudimentary road was extended about 14 kilometres (9 mi) upriver to Christian Valley.

[38] The Saunier family, who settled around 1909, chose the place name of this former railway siding, which was first mentioned in June 1915.

[75] At this rest stop on the rail trail, long-time resident Paul Lautard has built a shelter, picnic tables, war memorial, and outhouse.
