Priceville Footbridge, Suspension footbridge in Upper Miramichi, Canada

The McNamee-Priceville Footbridge extends 200 meters across the Southwest Miramichi River, featuring two spans connected by a central pier on an island.

The initial structure from 1938 collapsed during the spring floods of 1939, leading to the deaths of three people and prompting the construction of a reinforced replacement.

Thomas Wilson received the Carnegie Medal for his efforts to rescue Lawrence Price during the 1939 bridge collapse using both land and water approaches.

Visitors can reach the bridge by taking the McNamee Road exit from Route 8 and following it for 3.8 kilometers to the dedicated access road.

This structure holds the title of longest suspension footbridge in New Brunswick, rising 9 meters above the river and requiring 15 minutes to cross.
