Westmorland Street Bridge, Road bridge in Fredericton, Canada

The Westmorland Street Bridge extends 750 meters across the Saint John River, connecting downtown Fredericton with the Nashwaaksis neighborhood.

The bridge opened on September 19, 1981, following the construction of the Mactaquac Dam in 1968, which closed river navigation above Fredericton.

The bridge location near Pointe-Sainte-Anne reflects the historical Acadian settlement that existed opposite Fort Nashwaak in earlier centuries.

Four traffic lanes support vehicles at 70 kilometers per hour, while a dedicated north-side pathway accommodates pedestrians and cyclists.

The bridge construction required opening swing spans on two existing bridges to allow tugboats and barges to navigate during the building process.
