Centennial Bridge, Through arch bridge in Miramichi, Canada
Centennial Bridge is a steel arch structure spanning the Miramichi River in Miramichi. It carries three provincial routes with two traffic lanes and sidewalks running along both sides.
Built in 1967 to mark Canada's 100th birthday, it replaced a ferry service that once connected Douglastown and Chatham. The new route made travel between these areas faster and more direct.
The bridge connects two communities and plays a role in how people move through the region. It marks the landscape and is where daily traffic flows between northern and southern areas.
The bridge is open to traffic around the clock and has sidewalks for walking and cycling. It carries busy traffic during peak hours, so expect slower movement at these times.
The arched form was engineered to handle heavy snow loads and strong winds from the river valley. This design helps the structure remain stable during harsh winter storms.
