Jemseg River Bridge

The Jemseg River Bridge is the name for two different structures currently crossing the Jemseg River in Jemseg, New Brunswick, Canada.

The original Jemseg River Bridge (45°49′39″N 66°06′55″W / 45.827536°N 66.115304°W / 45.827536; -66.115304) was constructed in the mid-1960s and carried the two-lane Route 2 (Trans-Canada Highway). A realignment of the highway opened in October 2001 and saw a new 950 m haunched girder bridge (45°49′45″N 66°06′58″W / 45.829046°N 66.116238°W / 45.829046; -66.116238) constructed approximately 100 m upstream from the original .This new structure carries the four-lane Route 2 on a much broader span with considerably less approaching grade from the west.
