Reversing Falls Railway Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Saint John, Canada
The Reversing Falls Railway Bridge spans 372 meters across the Saint John River, connecting both sides with its robust steel framework structure.
The initial bridge from 1885 underwent complete reconstruction in 1922 to accommodate increased rail traffic and heavier loads across the Saint John River.
The bridge represents a central element in New Brunswick's industrial development, connecting European and North American Railway sections through Saint John.
Recent refurbishment efforts completed in December 2022 required 90,000 hours of labor and 17 million Canadian dollars to maintain structural integrity.
The bridge carries both railway traffic and essential infrastructure, including water supply pipes and the Lorneville Pipeline from Irving Oil's Canaport terminal.
