Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge

06

The Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge is a converted railway bridge that offers pedestrian passage over the Wolastoq River (also known as the Saint John river), connecting the North and South sides of the city. The bridge is a part of both the Trans Canada Trail and the Sentier NB Trail, and at 607 metres across, it is one of the longest walking bridges in the world. It is happily shared by commuters, families, dogs, cyclists, and runners, enjoying the magnificent view of the 25-foot rise over the broad river. The bridge provides the opportunity for exercise, car-free travel, and natural beauty through all seasons. On the north side, you’ll find the Picaroons Roundhouse, a brewery and restaurant with a large patio, and Carleton Park, a green space perfect for a picnic overlooking the river and the downtown skyline.

Southside Access: Queen St. and Brunswick St. | Northside Access: Union St.
