Pakenham Bridge, Stone bridge in Mississippi Mills, Canada

The Pakenham Bridge extends 268 feet across the Mississippi River with five stone arches, reaching 22 feet in height and 25 feet in width.

Scottish masons O'Toole and Keating constructed the bridge in 1903 using local quarry stones, with the largest pieces weighing 5 tons each.

The bridge represents a significant example of early 20th-century engineering and stands as a protected structure under the Ontario Heritage Trust easement.

Following the 1984 restoration, the bridge received reinforced concrete strengthening to support modern vehicle traffic while maintaining its original stone appearance.

This five-arch stone bridge remains the only structure of its specific design and construction type across North America.
