Long Creek Bridge is a bridge that spans across Long Creek. It is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the Canada–United States border and 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada. The bridge was originally a wooden bridge that had reached the end of its useful life, and in 2009 work started on a new precast, pre-stressed concrete bridge as part of the federal government's National Action Plan. [1][2]
The new bridge includes three 12.0 metre spans, a 7.32 metre wide bridge deck and 12.0 meters precast, pre-stressed, concrete stringers. [3] The cost of constructing a new bridge totalled CA$850,000. [4]
