    It is so great to see a partnership like this flourish lets repeat this between our nations across all of Canada.
    I'm an Engineering Technologist of 35 years managing large P3 civil projects. I'm extremely pleased to see a beautiful long standing wood structure bridge replaced with an equally impressive wood structure. No doubt the project design engineers had several less costly options to choose from. Choosing to replace and existing wood structure with another was the very best choice possible for many reasons. The new bridge designed and constructed with the highest quality components and craftmanship will definitely stand as long as did the original.
    Congratulations to everyone involved in this project.

    Great video, I was lucky enough to help tear down the old bridge and do some of the earth ex work, And returned after to do some finishing work, all the hard work was done by those bridge crew guys, assembling the bridge piece by piece, they are a different breed and work hard, Miller is lucky to have guys like Frank and Mario and his crew , it was great to have them build this bridge in our community and see them work.

    I'm amazed there are so little subscribers, excellent production value here. Also, I have worked on a couple of your featured videos on the consulting side of things.

      @@ConcretePicturesInc ty for that. I don't remember but I think that I mentioned that I'm a truck mechanic for a company in the gta. I can't believe that I've never come across this before. It's one thing to see the trucks in the shop it's the end result that I never get to see. Ty for that opportunity. See you in the comment section again soon 👍 🇨🇦 🔧

    Amazing, I didn't see any expansion joints in the pavement surface......wonder how it works as every bridge I've done maintenance on has them.

    Awesome video, I love this content.
    Cant help but find the statement "It's one of a kind, only the second in Canada" paradoxial and hilarious :)
    Hopefully there's never a forest fire up there😬

      The bridge can be one of a kind even though it’s the 2nd timber truss bridge in Canada.
      The other timber truss bridge may be a completely different design.

    I'll never understand the thought process that leads you to use wood in exterior heavy infrastructure projects......I thought this was 2024 not 1824.

      It is readily available in that location and wood, when allowed to dry out, will not rot. It is probably a region-specific solution.

    If they originally built it out of steel it would be still standing 🤷‍♂️

    Got lights on it now but not sure if they were inspecting this summer or sealing it but a fair bit of work on the underside I think was done.
