Key Facts
Bridge Name Facility Carried / Feature Intersected Location Structure Type Construction Date / Builder or Contractor
Tobin Bridge Park Avenue Over Indian Creek Chatham: Chatham-Kent Region, Ontario Concrete Rigid-Frame, Stationary 1957 By: Dean Construction Company

Most of Ontario's rigid-frame bridges feature a solid, one-piece superstructure under the deck like a concrete slab's superstructure. However, some of them feature separate beams, more like a t-beam bridge. This is an example of the later, with individual beams visible.

The unusual granite plaque on the bridge declares the name of the bridge the Tobin Bridge. This is a fairly large example of the rigid-frame design, when compared to other rigid-frame structures found in the region. It retains original standard plan decorative railings and has good historic integrity.
