Little Joggins Bridge
The Little Joggins Bridge
Mile 17.8 Yarmouth Subdivision
44°36'3.00"N, 65°45'57.53"W
One of the The Joggins Bridges near Digby just west of the Big Joggins 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.
Structure
1914: The original wooden bridge had been replaced by a 40 ft. deck plate girder bridge and 545 ft. of the bridge had been filled. [1]

1969: Three 72" Corrugated Structural Steel Plate pipes[3]
