I have been told by the support team of my
hosting service that this problem
is a fault of MSIE and that we will have to
live with it.
I would like to take this time to
mention the book,
NO
FASTER THAN A WALK
THE COVERED BRIDGES OF NEW BRUNSWICK
By Stephen & John Gillis
Without it's help I would not have
been able to find many of these bridges or the
details about them.It is great
reading and if you have any more interest in
the Covered Bridges of New Brunswick.
I would recommend that you get a copy of it.
I would also like to thank Ron Joyce
of the NB Dept. of Transportation for his help
with the uncovered bridges and
the plans of the 1920's Covered Bridge.
I have added a guest book for
those that
want to pass comments along
Yes Nova Scotia did have Covered Bridges

I wanted to show a picture of the type of bridge that was being built by The Province Nova Scotia at the same time. These steel one lane bridges crossed many of the provinces rivers and a few are still remaining today. However they did not have the endurance of the wooden covered bridges. Steel and salt air just don't mix that well. Nova Scotia also had a number of wooden covered bridges which can be viewed by using the link below in the LINK section. |
The
Map Page will make it easier to find a particular bridge.

Don't forget to have a look at
the St. Nicholas River No. 1.
At 503 ft (153 Meters) it was
the second longest Covered Bridge in New Brunswick.
This
Bridge was destroyed by electrical fire on Feb. 26 2001

This picture was submitted by Bob Alston of Newtown, N.B. Bob had the following to say about the center |
|
|
| It looks like a covered Bridge outside and
inside with beams and trusses.
It is not hard to find, take Exit 365 off Route 2 (TCH) There are large billboards advertising it on either side of the exit. There are other surprises inside which you will discover when you visit. We opened the Info Centre in June 2003 and had the following number of visitors pass through its doors: 2003 - 12,500, 2004 - 16,000, 2005 - 20,000, In 2006 we are expecting over 25,000 since we just installed the two billboard signs on the TCH in December 2005. Sign dimensions 20ft x 15ft with poles 24 ft high. |
