Miramichi Bridge
 |
The Miramichi Bridge is a bridge crossing the Miramichi River at Newcastle, New Brunswick, Canada.
It opened to traffic in 1995 as part of the Route 117 Chatham bypass project. It is located approximately 1 km (0.62 mi) upstream from the older Morrissy Bridge, which closed to all traffic in September 2008.
The bridge is a continuous steel girder design carrying two lanes of highway traffic from Chatham Head on the south bank to Newcastle on the north bank.
One construction worker was killed during the project.
Katherine Gratton & Gary Trimm were also a factor in that bridge being closed down. They were both involved in near fatal accidents on that bridge. It was the back end of the 18 wheeler hitting the back of the bridge/ bouncing back and crushing the Oldsmobile like a pop can underneath the truck. A couple hours later AND 2 YES TWO SETS of the jaws of life qnd they were freed. Finally able to start that LONNNNGGGGG road to recovery.
