A Tale of Two Historic New Brunswick Bridges
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5428-8538
This paper presents brief histories of two iconic New Brunswick bridges: the Little Salmon River Viaduct near Grand Falls, and the Sir Hugh John Flemming Bridge at Hartland. The Little Salmon River Viaduct, the second longest in the country after the Lethbridge Viaduct, was a vital link in the National Transcontinental Railway, which became part of Canadian National Railways. R. F. Uniacke, a bridge engineer for the NTR, directed the tender design. The Dominion Bridge Company Ltd. of Lachine fabricated and erected the steel in 1910–11, with detailed design by Fred P. Shearwood, later Chief Engineer of Dominion Bridge. The Atlas Construction Company Ltd. constructed the Sir Hugh John Flemming Bridge between 1958 and 1960, based on the design of E. van Walsum, Jr., and T. J. Sluymer, Jr., of the Foundation of Canada Engineering Corporation Ltd., Montreal. It is a seven-span concrete deck arch, with a total length of 662 m.
