NELSON HOLLOW BRIDGE

The Nelson Hollow Bridge is believed to be the oldest covered bridge in New Brunswick and the only remaining covered bridge still standing in Northumberland County, it is located between Boiestown and Doaktown, over a small brook named “Mill Brook”. It is the only bridge in the province to have a cottage-style roof. The bridge was first constructed in 1870 and rebuilt in 1899. It is 24.5 m long and spans Betts Mill Brook, about 4 km west of Doaktown. In 1977 it was restored by the Doaktown Historical Society. The view is spectacular as you walk across this amazing structure and you might even steal a kiss.

Lyons Lane Route 8, Nelson Hollow

PRICEVILLE FOOTBRIDGE

The Priceville Footbridge is one of the great wonders of the Miramichi. Allow yourself to travel back through time on this suspension footbridge, which spans the mystical waters of the Miramichi River, joining the communities of Priceville and McNamee; commonly known as the “swinging” footbridge. On May 10, 1939, tragedy befell these communities when the Miramichi River was in full flood and the middle of the footbridge hung only a few inches above the water. The suspension bridge was caught by flowing ice and flipped over, breaking the supporting cables. Check out the rest of its history at the bridge.

Exit Route 8 at the Holt Road.
