Centennial Bridge (New Brunswick)

Centennial Bridge (New Brunswick)

The Centennial Bridge, named in honour of Canada's centennial year, is an arch truss bridge crossing the Miramichi River in Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada. Carrying Route 11 over the river, the bridge connects Douglastown on the north bank with Chatham on the south bank. These communities have now been merged through municipal amalgamation into the city of Miramichi.

Prior to construction of the bridge, a ferry (the Romeo & Juliet) operated between downtown Chatham and Ferry Road. When the bridge opened in 1967 the Romeo & Juliet was moved to service a new route across Kennebecasis Bay between Summerville and Millidgeville near Saint John, New Brunswick

Bridges of similar construction in eastern Canada include the Seal Island Bridge and the Burton Bridge.
