Victoria Bridge, St. Marys, ON

Excerpt from townofstmarys.com:

 

This pre-confederation stone four-arched structure spanning the Thames River is and has been the most important of the several bridges in the Town. Several log and timber bridges occupied the site until Town Council in August of 1864 authorized the signing of a contract with Alex McDonald "for the construction of a stone arched bridge across the Thames, on Queen Street, according to the plan submitted by Mr.. Niven, P. L. S. - cost $4 450- completion date September 1, 1865." In 1981, Town Council repealed the historic designation of the Victoria Bridge.
