Petitcodiac River No.3 (Hasty)

We revisited the Hasty Bridge on a long weekend, but there was scattered evidence of spring repairs in progress all around.  It looks like it took a beating last winter.  This bridge is located at a popular fishing spot, with one gang of people leaving as we arrived, and another coming in soon after.  

Coverdale River No.7 (now at Magnetic Hill)

In 1982, the City of Moncton moved the former Coverdale River No.7 bridge from Parkindale, Albert County, to the newly redesigned and expanded Magnetic Hill tourist park area.  This bridge is not always included on the 'historic bridges' list, but since the bones of it are from the original Parkindale bridge, I am happy to consider it to be authentic.  My father's engineering company did the design for the infrastructure of the new bridge site, making sure it could withstand the stresses of heavy vehicular traffic, including the weight of motor coaches, so this adds a small personal connection.

A visit to the zoo with young relations, and an opportunity to take a few pictures of the bridge from inside of the fence.

Tantramar River No.2 (Wheaton)

One of my favorites, the Tantramar Bridge is located on the High Marsh Road on the legendary Tantramar Marsh, close to the New Brunswick-Nova Scotia border.   This is a unique spot that has been loved by artists and poets for generations.  Harriers, Bald Eagles, and other raptors can be seen hunting regularly over the surrounding hay fields.

A gorgeous day out to Sackville and and the High Marsh Road to take some winter photos of the bridge.
  

         

 

  

      

    

              

     

Shediac River No.4 (Joshua Gallant)

Depending on the time of year, this bridge  can be obscured from the road by trees, and there is no signage to warn you where to turn.  It is very close to the Shediac River Road, just down a short track on the north side.  This is another 'retired' bridge that has been incorporated into the snowmobile trail system.
