Bridge Documentation

This bridge's future is at risk!

Bridge Status: This heritage bridge is at risk for demolition and replacement!

2019 Update: As of March 11, 2019 this bridge has been closed to traffic, and is now barricaded off.

This bridge is a Warren pony truss with riveted connections. It features large lattice railings, that use a design seen often in Ontario, that consists of using angle-shaped steel to form the lattice, resulting in a more durable design. Ontario bridges also seem to extend the railings down the abutment wingwalls quite often as well. The bridge is skewed. The deck is concrete, and appears to be original. This is the last surviving highway pony truss that is on public roads in the Chatham-Kent Region. As such, the preservation of this bridge is essential, to retain any local memory from this important and beautiful period in bridge design history. The bridge would be a great candidate for relocation and reuse in a new location, perhaps for pedestrian use in a park or trail setting.
