Notes
The Canadian Pacific Railway Bridge has a swing-span to permit passage of river vessels (not currently operational). Converted to pedestrian use as the Longest Converted Train Bridge in North America and part of the Trans-Canada Trail Network.
This bridge was actually owned by C.N.R. through the Fredericton and St. Mary's Bridge Company. C.P.R. had a trackage rights agreement with C.N.R. to access its facilities on each side of the river.
