Bridge Documentation

This bridge no longer exists!

Bridge Status: Demolished and replaced in early 2020.

Timber trusses, especially those which are not covered bridges are rare. Even more rare are timber deck truss bridges, of which this bridge is an example. The Howe deck truss consists of three truss lines. The bridge appears to retain good historic integrity. The timber floor beams and brackets have interesting carved details giving the bridge some architectural detail. Despite the significance of this bridge, this was not enough to save the bridge from demolition and replacement. Information from Ontario Bridge Inventory: Bridge width: 10.1 meters.
