The owner of land around this bridge contacted HistoricBridges.org and asked that we pass on the following: The bridge is actually on private property and we'd prefer people respect that and stay on the highway. We had a survey semi-recently to confirm this and we've had constant issues with trespassers including an assault.
This bridge is a riveted deck truss bridge that carries heavy King's Highway traffic. a number of rivets have been replaced with bolts as part of repairs, but given the heavy use the bridge retains good historic integrity overall. Deck truss bridges are uncommon, making this a noteworthy, if late, example of its type. The two deck truss spans are not the same length; the northern span is longer.
The location of this bridge is over a narrow, rocky gorge and waterfall, making it an interesting site to say the least.
This bridge originally carried two way traffic, but today a steel rigid-frame bridge carries southbound traffic while the heritage bridge carries northbound traffic. According to thekingshighway.ca/ the southbound bridge (and one-way pair conversion) occurred in 1974.
