Miramichi Bridge, Highway bridge in Miramichi, Canada
The Miramichi Bridge is a highway crossing over the Miramichi River built with a continuous steel girder structure that carries two lanes of traffic. The structure connects the river's banks directly with a straightforward design.
The bridge was completed in 1995 as part of the Route 117 Chatham bypass project to replace older river crossings in the region. The project modernized the transportation connection between the two sides of the river.
The bridge connects Chatham Head and Newcastle, two communities that became part of the merged Miramichi municipality and rely on this crossing for daily movement between neighborhoods.
The bridge sits about one kilometer upstream from the former Morrissy Bridge and provides a straight path between the north and south sides of the river. Vehicles can cross the area at any time of day since it is a well-maintained main traffic route.
The structure forms a critical transportation link in New Brunswick, supporting regional mobility while overlooking the natural landscape of Miramichi River.
