Sgt. Aubrey Cosens VC Memorial Bridge, Military memorial bridge in Latchford, Canada

The Sgt. Aubrey Cosens VC Memorial Bridge is a road bridge carrying Ontario Highway 11, part of the Trans-Canada Highway system, across the Montreal River at Latchford, Ontario. It was built in October 1960. After a partial failure on 14 January 2003, when three steel hanger rods fractured and the northwest deck corner dropped about two metres, it was rebuilt and returned to service in 2005, each hanger rod replaced by four cable wires.

The bridge opened in 1960 and underwent major reconstruction in 2005 following structural damage from metal fatigue that occurred two years earlier. This recovery reflected the need to maintain this vital transportation route.

The bridge was renamed in 1986 for Sgt. Aubrey Cosens of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, a Victoria Cross recipient from the area. Members of that regiment and of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, Cosens' original unit, attended the official unveiling. Months earlier, Transportation Minister Ed Fulton had refused the town's request, citing a policy against naming bridges after people.

Highway 11 traffic crosses the Montreal River here on a structure that resumed service in 2005 after reconstruction. During the 2003 closure, drivers detoured via Highway 65, Quebec Route 101, Highway 63 or Highway 533, or walked over the Latchford Dam to meet a vehicle on the far side. Ontario Northland ran a special train between Temagami and New Liskeard while the crossing was out.

Before this bridge was built, the nearby Latchford Dam served as the crossing point for vehicles heading south. This earlier route highlights how transportation evolved in this remote northern region.
