ACO Chatham-Kent supported campaign to save this rare cantilever/truss bridge from demolition and replacement by a concrete bridge. “The only bridge of this style known in Ontario, a small-scale continuous through truss. And one of the last remaining metal truss bridges of any kind in Chatham-Kent. Its loss would mean the loss of a unique structure.” Nathan Holth, Historic Bridges
