Modular bridge replacing burnt covered bridge
A covered bridge that was destroyed by fire earlier this summer will be replaced by a modular bridge. That announcement was made by Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Claude Williams yesterday (Tuesday). The bridge, located near Hartland, was destroyed by fire on August 13 after a stolen vehicle was parked on the bridge and set on fire. The construction is expected to begin later this month and should be complete by the end of the year. The one lane bridge will cost an estimated $450,000. Residents currently have to take a detour of up to 14.5 kilometres.
