Saint Leonard-Van Buren Bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saint Leonard-Van Buren Bridge is an international bridge, which connects the communities of St. Leonard, New Brunswick in Canada and Van Buren, Maine in the United States, across the Saint John River.

The bridge was first constructed in 1911, replacing a cable ferry, and opened in 1912. The current structure replaced the original bridge in 1972.

Transport Canada estimated the bridge's traffic at 272,425 vehicles annually in 2006.
