Magaguadavic River #7, built in 1905 is 18.3 metres long. This bridge is very easy to get to even though it is in a very remote area. It is down in a little valley and the river is an incredible view.
This is Memramcook River #4 bridge dating back to 1930. This bridge is 22.6m long. This one is not too far off the Trans-Canada highway and is really interesting and picturesque around the area.
Hardscrabble #2, built in 1946 is 21.9 metres long.
Coverdale River #3 Bridge, is officially not in service but is used by a farmer to get to his cow pasture. It is difficult to find from the road without GPS as it looks like a driveway. Built-in 1943 the bridge is 30.5 metres long.
Petitcodiac River #3, built in 1927 is 37.6 metres long.
Hartland Covered Bridge, the longest covered bridge in the world at 391 metres long. It was built in 1901 but not covered until 1921. Which as in most bridges that I have seen so far are a wooden truss bridge and then look to have an attached independent shell to protect from weather or rot….
