Got a few, including one Hydro goes ape on if you post it. I say, with what they are doing to Ontario...

Anyhoo, a one of a kind 5 span stone bridge. Site of a bunch of memories for me, going back to the early 60s.

 

The Pakenham Bridge is a stone bridge with five arches that crosses the Mississippi River at the town of Pakenham within Mississippi Mills, Ontario, Canada. The bridge measures 268 feet (82 m) long, 22 feet (6.7 m) high, and 25 feet (7.6 m) wide. It is the only one of this type in North America.[1]

The bridge was built in 1903 by O'Toole & Keating, Scottish masons from Ottawa, for a cost of $14,500. The stones, the largest of which weighs 5 tons, came from a local quarry.

Check out this link to You Tube 'Death Bridge' over the Wahnapitae River for a few videos. More videos if you search around of a guy on a dirt bike doing a wheelie across it!!!!  https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=snowmobile+bridge+of+death

 I dont think so. Those in the know use it as a short cut.

Was that taken today? Is that frazzle ice on the surface or just the current?

Sounds a bit unlikely that these guys were from Scotland with names like O’Toole and Keating:D
