Gunningsville Bridge, Vehicle and pedestrian bridge in Riverview, Canada
Gunningsville Bridge is a vehicle and pedestrian crossing over the Petitcodiac River connecting Riverview and Moncton, with four traffic lanes and separate walking paths. The structure was built to handle the heavy traffic flow between the two communities while keeping foot traffic safe and separated.
The current bridge opened in 2005 and represents the fifth structure built at this location. The original bridge was first constructed during the 1860s to connect the two growing communities.
The bridge serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors watch the river change through the seasons. People stop along the walkways to take photos and observe the water's shifting tides.
The bridge provides direct access via Gunningsville Boulevard and Vaughan Harvey Boulevard, shortening travel time between Riverview and downtown Moncton. It is a good choice for crossing during rush hour, though the walkways can get busy at peak times.
The bridge is equipped with a monitoring system that tracks the tidal bore phenomenon in the Petitcodiac River. This system records water heights and flow patterns that can affect boat traffic passing beneath the structure.
