Canada's Oldest Original-Design Bridge: Abenakis Springs Truss Bridge

The Abenakis Springs Truss Bridge over the Salmon River in New Brunswick (built 1886 by Dominion Bridge Co.) is Canada's oldest bridge retaining its original design and materials. A wrought-iron truss span of 34.7 m (114 ft), it is the last 19th-century iron bridge in Canada and a National Historic Site.
