Long Creek Bridge is a bridge that spans across Long Creek. It is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the Canada–United States border and 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada. The bridge was originally a wooden bridge that had reached the end of its useful life, and in 2009 work started on a new precast, pre-stressed concrete bridge as part of the federal government's National Action Plan. [1][2]
The new bridge includes three 12.0-metre spans, a 7.32-metre-wide (24.0 ft) bridge deck and 12.0-meter precast, pre-stressed, concrete stringers.[3] The cost of constructing a new bridge was budgeted at CA$850,000 in 2011.[4]
