  • Benton Covered Bridge

    Eel River #3 from 1927 is 31.9 metres long. This bridge has a park next to it and the Eel River at this bridge is simply amazing. Not too far off the Trans-Canada, it is in a beautiful community undisturbed by the modern fast-paced way of life.

  • Hartland Covered Bridge

    Hartland Covered Bridge

    Hartland Covered Bridge – Built 1901

    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.

    Despite its fame for being very big, it is also the most tackey of every bridge in New Brunswick, from the big sign, string lights at the entrance, and the food truck lot next to the bridge, this made me urn for the other bridges I have seen across New Brunswick.

  • Florenceville Covered Bridge

    Florenceville Covered Bridge

    Florenceville Bridge – Built 1907

    Florenceville Bridge, built at 16.9 metres long in 1907 is a partial cover bridge span. It is the cutest covered bridge crossing the Saint John River. It sits on a well-developed waterfront boardwalk that even trumps the water access in the bigger downstream cities of Fredericton and Saint John.

    Being located across the street from the McCain Foods headquarters there is a bench great for photos of the bridge at sunset with a carved potato. McCain Foods makes 90% of all french fries worldwide.

  • Ellis Covered Bridge

    Ellis Covered Bridge

    Ellis Covered Bridge – Built 1909

    North Becaguimec River #4 was built in 1909 and is 18.3 metres long. This bridge is on a bit of a side road that is good until the bridge. The river at this point looks like an amazing fishing spot. This one is very easy to get to and very close to Hartland and Florenceville bridges.

  • Nackawic Siding Covered Bridge

    Nackawic Siding Covered Bridge

    Nackawick Siding Bridge – Built 1927

    This bridge is the Nackawic River #5 bridge from 1927 and 18.3 metres long. This is one of the more remote bridges and the road to get to it is eroded about 1km from the bridge but was passible with guidance and rocks placed over the ditch from the North Side. Accessing this bridge from the south by car is better, but you cannot take a normal car across the bridge due to road conditions.

    There is a heat shack neat by for the NB Trail users and this area is beyond beautiful there is a trail that goes along the river to get a great view of this bridge
