TRANSPORTATION/PUBLIC WORKS--APPLE RIVER BRIDGE OPEN TO TRAFFIC
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Apple River Bridge is once again open to traffic.
The Department of Transportation and Public Works has installed a
one-lane structure over the Apple River in Cumberland County, on
Shulie Road between Advocate and Joggins. The extra-wide single
span replaces the old steel truss that collapsed April 1 after it
was struck by a tractor-trailer.
The department is reviewing options on replacing the bridge with
a permanent two-lane structure.
