Halfway River Bridge
Mile 37.17 on the Halifax Subdivision
Located just east of Hantsport, the bridge crossed the Halfway River (so named because it marked the was halway point between Halifax and Annapolis Royal in the era of the stage coach.)
Initially built as a trestle, the bridge in its final form consisted of a 40 foot long pile trestle over a spillway and an embankment at the Halfway River aboiteau with three 60 inch corrugated metal pipes.[1]
