| Echo River Bridge | Truss | Bay Street | Algoma District, ON | Echo Bay | Echo River |
This bridge is next to the Echo River Railroad Bridge. This bridge is a rare example of a multi-span pony truss. The bridge is a subdivided Warren truss with riveted connections. It features lattice outriggers. This bridge has an unusual top chord, which is quite small yet has rivets holding it together, as can be seen on top of it. These rivets are spaced unusually also, when compared to other similar bridges. Original pole railings are present on the bridge. The deck base is concrete. This bridge is closed with good reason, since the abutments have had the dirt washed out from behind them.
This bridge is in a scenic location, with the extremely short river giving way to Echo Bay with large hills off in the distance. I wish the weather had been nicer when I was here.
