Avon River Bridge

Where is the Avon River Bridge? What was the mileage and what sub division was it on?

Hi Holly?:

The Avon River Bridge was on the Halifax Sub in Windsor, in 1973 the causeway was opened farther west of the Avon Bridge and the bridge was taken out of service. The original crossing split Windsor just about in half, the causeway cuts across the north end of Windsor before entering the rebuilt yard.

Here's a Wiki page showing several shots of the bridge:

There are many shots of Windsor before the realignment and after on this Wiki page:

Hope this helps.
