Yes, it's the bridge: Bob - stands for Big Orange Bridge. It spans the Kootenay River at Nelson and makes a pretty good landmark from the hills of Nelson.
Some years ago, before BOB, there was a ferry across the river at this point. The Kootenay River is what drains Kootenay Lake, although the river itself rises in the Rockies in Kootenay National Park. The river then flows south and west, passing near Cranbrook, into Kocanusa Lake, down into the USA for a bit, then back north into Kootenay Lake, down past Nelson and finally joining with the Columbia River on its run to the Pacific at Portland. Nice river.
