History of the Bridge
The Kinburn Line Bridge, known locally as the "Green Bridge", was manufactured by the Central Bridge Company Ltd., based in Trenton, Ontario. The Bridge was installed at the site in 1947 to replace the previous crossing that was swept away in a flood.
The "Green Bridge" was a riveted, six-panel steel pony truss with original gas pipe railings, that spanned the Bayfield River at Front Road and Kinburn Line.

Replacement of the Bridge
In 2020, a Stage 1 & 2 Archeological Assessment was conducted as part of the proposed replacement project. Timmins Martelle Heritage Consultants Inc. was contracted by B.M Ross & Associates Ltd. to carry out the assessment.
The final Stage 1 & 2 Archeological Assessment submitted to B.M Ross can be viewed here.
Construction was completed in 2021 on the new Kinburn Line Bridge. A monument was erected at the site to mark the historical significance of the "Green Bridge".
