Bridge Documentation

This impressive deck truss bridge soars over the river valley and a walking trail underneath allows people to visit the bridge. A nearby golf course is known as "The Bridges at Tillsonburg" and it features this bridge as its logo. The plural name refers to the other bridge in the area, a modern highway bridge. That this heritage bridge forms the logo speaks to its superior beauty over the modern (meaning ugly) highway bridge.

Length given is an estimate. It was difficult to see but there appears to be a second truss span at the far east end of the bridge. This span might actually be longer than the "main" span over the river as it appeared on Google Maps that it might measure at 170 feet while the river span was measuring at around 130 feet.
