The Joggins Bridge
Mile 16.5 Yarmouth Subdivision
Structure
1969: 285 feet long, two deck plate girder spans and with timber trestle approaches.(1)
History
This was originally a long and challenging tidal bridge, one of the difficult and expensive bridges along with the Bear River Bridge and the Clementsport Bridge of the "missing link" which delayed the Digby-Annapolis connection for years. Over the years the bridge spans and pile trestle were progressively replaced by fill, eventually becoming a long embankment with a few short spans.
