The Old Nipawin Bridge is a Canadian railway bridge that spans the Saskatchewan River just north of Nipawin, Saskatchewan. It was originally built by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The 'Old Bridge' is a double deck bridge with the top deck carrying the Torch River Railway (short-line operator) track while a 16-foot roadway is on the lower deck.[1]
