Built in 1926 to accommodate the rise in automobile popularity after World War I, this reinforced concrete bowstring arch bridge has a length of 160 meters, with seven spans and six piers built at an estimated cost of $85,000. The pedestrian sidewalk was a first for bridges of the time – credited to A.B. Crealock, the Bridge Engineer for the Province of Ontario. (2025 Photo by Brett Nelson, P.Eng.)
