Location

The Old Nipawin Bridge is a railway bridge that spans the Saskatchewan River just north of Nipawin, Saskatchewan. It was originally built by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The 'Old Bridge' is a double-deck bridge with the top deck carrying the Torch River Railway (short-line operator) track while a 16-foot-wide (4.9 m) roadway is on the lower deck.[1] On June 16, 2021 Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways closed the road portion of the bridge due to rapidly deteriorating conditions however; the railway portion of the bridge currently remains active.[2]
