Big Salmon River Suspension Bridge is a suspension footbridge in New Brunswick, Canada. It was built in 1974 and measures 84m in length.[1] It spans the Big Salmon River, a small river which flows into the Bay of Fundy near Fundy-St. Martins.

The suspension bridge can be accessed by the Suspension Bridge Trail. This trail begins at the Fundy Trail Parkway parking area P8 near the Mitchell Franklin Bridge.[2]

History

[edit]

Before the suspension bridge was built, a covered bridge existed in its place.
