Notes:

  • Patrick S. O'Donnell writes: "This simple bridge started out as a multiple span, concrete girder on piers. A couple of the spans in the middle were washed away in a flood, most likely as a result of the common pier collapsing / failing. They fixed that by building a pair of towers and bridged the gap with a suspended span. That eventually collapsed under the weight of an overloaded truck. The gap was re-spanned in a like manner, with a towered suspended span."

Main Cables:Wire (steel)
Suspended Spans:1
Main Span:1 x 66 meters (216.5 feet)

Notes:

  • A visitor sent the following information: "[The bridge is] located on a hiking trail on the bed of an abandoned late 19th century railway track, which is raised several meters above a low, marshy area. The bridge itself spans a gap where the Tidnish River flows through the embankment. When driving along the Sunrise Trail, you get a brief glimpse of the bridge, although you must take a small back road to get to it... The bridge is very sturdy, and does not 'swing' although a 70 kg (150 lb.) person can easily create a visible ripple that passes back and forth along the deck by stomping on it. The anchors for the main cables appear to be nothing more than two I-beams sticking out of the ground on a 45 degree angle to which the cables are bolted. The diagonal I-beams are most likely bolted or welded to a horizontal, buried I-beam. The suspender 'cables' are steel rods that are kept from sliding by resting behind a clamp. The bridge looks small and assymetrical when viewed from a distance because the towers and a large portion of the span aren't visible through the trees on each end. The path also passes over an old keystone bridge which was constructed when the railway was built in the late 19th century, you do not realize this when you are actually on the path because there is 2-3 m (7-10 ft.) of soil on top of the bridge, so you can only see the large stones when you are standing ON them."
  • Patrick S. O'Donnell sent more information about 19th-century arch bridge at this location. It was part of an ambitious project known as the "Chignecto Marine Transport Railway" intended to transport large ships across the Isthmus of Chignetco.
  • Closed indefinitely in early 2015 after approach span wood supports were found to have deteriorated.
