The New Brunswick Department of Transportation has constructed a $28.5 Million replacement bridge across the Petitcodiac River, linking the Greater Moncton Area. The bridge and associated approaches will serve as a vital transportation corridor that will contribute to economic growth and greater prosperity for the Communities, and will encourage residential, commercial and social development. The project incorporates unique features and extensive aesthetic enhancements for vehicular, pedestrian and cyclist traffic. The four lane (23m deck width), eight span, 425 metre structure has observation platforms, endposts, light pilasters, pillars, decorative lighting and a four metre bridge sidewalk for combined pedestrian and cyclist traffic. The sidewalk connects an extensive riverfront recreational trail system. Self-compacting concrete, acid stain and integral colour provide decorative architectural detail.
