Scope and Content

Three black-and-white negative photographs featuring the bridge on the 14th Concession, on September 13, 1979.

R13 S3 Sh6 B3 33a was published in the Rodney Mercury on September 13, 1979, with the caption: "Dilapidated 14 Concession bridge was closed to traffic Monday, because its east wall cracked at both ends and in the middle many months ago, allowing earth from the east side to push the wall out into the creek bed. The bridge's deck also cracked and tilted with as much road bed above as possible being removed to reduce the strain on the deck and walls. The old bridge will be replaced, possiby yet this year, with a new pipe arch culvert."
