Priceville Footbridge, Suspension footbridge in Upper Miramichi, Canada

Priceville Footbridge is a pedestrian suspension bridge that spans roughly 200 meters across the Southwest Miramichi River. Two main cable spans connect via a central support pier positioned on an island between the riverbanks.

The first Priceville footbridge, a single span across the Southwest Miramichi River, was built in 1938 and wrecked in the spring freshet of 1939, killing three people. Thomas Wilson of McNamee received the Carnegie Medal that year for saving Lawrence R. Price from the submerged bridge. A second bridge followed in 1939, and the third, in use today, was built in 1988.

The name links the bridge to Priceville, the community on one bank, while the other end lies at McNamee, about 12 km west of Doaktown. The crossing is used by anglers and guides working the Southwest Miramichi, a river known for salmon fishing; Thomas Wilson, the 1939 Carnegie Medal recipient, was himself a guide from McNamee.

Access starts from McNamee Road, reachable via Route 8, followed by a short drive to the trailhead. The crossing takes roughly 15 minutes on foot and offers sturdy pedestrian passage.

The 1938 original was a single span across the whole river; it collapsed in the spring freshet of 1939, killing three people. Thomas Wilson of McNamee received the Carnegie Medal for bravery that year for rescuing Lawrence R. Price from the wreckage. The two later bridges, from 1939 and 1988, use two spans with a pier on a mid-river island.
