Carling Avenue bridge, Beachburg sub - Nepean, ON

Waymark Code: WMRKFR

For best viewing, I encourage you to park in the no-cost visitors parking at the Shirley's Bay Communications Research Centre Campus.

The following co-ordinates for parking are near WMA153 (N 45° 20.715 W 075° 52.995).

The Canadian National Railway trans-continental line here dates back to 1915 and became known as the Beachburg subdivision. One hundred years later, the tracks are gone, the line abandoned from Nepean Junction.

This bridge across Carling Avenue (then Ontario highway 17) dates back to 1925. Measuring from Hurdman, this bridge is at milepost 15.2.

The old, small bridge was not designed for the busy automobile traffic. It is dangerous to venture near the road. Please use the posted co-ordinates for your photography and stay off the road.
