Covered Bridges 2020

This feed is documenting all the Covered Bridges of New Brunswick. During the summer of 2020 I took several trips and photographed each one.


  • Joshua Gallant Covered Bridge

    Joshua Gallant Covered Bridge

    Joshua Gallant Covered Bridge – Built 1935

    This 1935 Shediac River #4 Bridge is the 1st of my non-accessible bridge. It is on the NB Trails system just a short walk from the road. It is in a little valley that has an amazing little river passing through. This is a 25.6m long bridge.

  • Boudreau Covered Bridge

    Boudreau Covered Bridge

    Boudreau Covered Bridge – Built 1930

    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.


  • Wheaton Covered Bridge

    Wheaton Covered Bridge

    Wheaton Covered Bridge – Built 1916

    Tantramar River #2 bridge is the furthest east covered bridge in New Brunswick. Built in 1916, this bridge is 49.7 metres long. This bridge can be seen for a long distance as it is the only structure in a far distance in every direction on the marsh and farmland in this part of the province.

    Lattice truss, this is more but not completely rare in covered bridges.

  • Dumbarton Covered Bridge

    Dumbarton Covered Bridge

    Dumbarton Covered Bridge – Built 1928

    Officially the Digdeguash River #6, this 1928 bridge is located in thein a very remote area. It is 23.2 metres long. At sunset the view was amazing, even took away from being eaten alive by mosquitos.

  • McCann Covered Bridge

    McCann Covered Bridge

    McCann Bridge – Built 1938

    Also known as the Digdeguash River # 4 Bridge, this is one beauty of a bridge. At only 26.6m it is fairly short but fits in well to the neighbouring area. This bridge is at the end of a curve in the road and the view as you come up to the bridge as it is hugged into the forest is amazing.

  • MaGuire Covered Bridge

    MaGuire Covered Bridge

    MaGuire Covered Bridge – Built 1913.

    Officially the Digdeguash River #3, this 1913 bridge is located in the middle of nowhere remote from modern time. It is 35 metres long and has one of the most incredible vistas. The road to get here is in great condition and well worth a look.

  • Starkey Bridge

    Starkey Bridge

    Starkey Bridge, built in 1912

    Officially the Long Creek #1 bridge, this bridge is in very poor shape. Built-in 1912 was one of many bridges in the area that have been mostly replaced with steel bridges. This is the oldest of two remaining bridges in Queen’s County. This bridge is 41.5 metres long.

    It appears like this bridge or at least the roads to and from it were picked up and dropped by recent unprecedented flooding. Given that there is a nearby alternative route across this body of water, this road is not really needed and very unlikely this bridge will be ever used again.

    I’m on a quest to visit and document all the covered bridges in New Brunswick this year.
