Photo: Erica Butler, August 20, 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tantramar MLA Megan Mitton says the provincial Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DTI) has decided to keep the Wheaton Covered Bridge in place, and add a second modern, modular bridge next to it. The replacement will be wide enough and strong enough to support farm equipment and emergency response vehicles, says Mitton. There\u2019s still no timeline on when the new bridge will be in place, but Mitton says she\u2019s been told it will not be constructed by this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 109-year-old covered bridge has been closed to traffic since July of last year. Farmers in the area have been using detour routes since the bridge was closed, in some cases adding 40 minutes each way to trips hauling hay or cattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chignecto Soil and Crop Association board member Fred Anderson says farmers were hoping for a fix for the crossing this year. The group had favoured a plan to lift the wooden heritage bridge from its current location, and then add a modern bridge in its place. But, says Mitton, \u201cDTI told me that&#8217;s not possible. They looked into it and it just wasn&#8217;t an option.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitton says she is working getting DTI to speed up the timeline for the side-by-side bridge plan to at least match the predicted shorter timeline for the bridge replacement. \u201cI\u2019m trying to end up with a similar outcome,\u201d says Mitton, \u201cbecause really, some of the obstacles in terms of the timeline are more bureaucratic than actually just building the bridge. And so I&#8217;m trying to see how I can reduce those.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitton says that DTI told her that \u201cno option is going to have something in place for the summer of 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut I&#8217;m pushing for as soon as possible,\u201d says Mitton. \u201cEven if it can&#8217;t be in this construction season, maybe it can be soon after.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anderson says he will be speaking to affected farmers to determine a response to the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best case scenario for heritage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heritage advocate and president of Tantramar Heritage Trust, Logan Atkinson, says leaving the bridge in place is the best case scenario from a heritage perspective, but the challenge begins there. The bridge will remain closed even to pedestrians and cyclists until it can be repaired, something which Atkinson says he\u2019s heard estimated at costing around $1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSome bridges end up being closed for for years and years, and some of them are closed forever,\u201d says Mitton. \u201cAnd so this is a win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1173\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_5194.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_5194.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_5194-600x550.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_5194-768x704.jpg 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tantramar MLA Megan Mitton in her Sackville constituency office.

And so this, this might be a model for what other communities can do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tantramar MLA Megan Mitton says the provincial Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DTI) has decided to keep the Wheaton Covered Bridge in place, and add a second modern, modular bridge [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":54055,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[472,482,558],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-front-page","category-weekly"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DTI opts for new crossing beside Wheaton Covered Bridge;
