The Centennial Bridge that spans New Brunswick’s Miramichi River has been a construction site for years.The provincial government first announced its plan to rehabilitate the nearly 60-year-old 1.1-kilometre bridge, in the river’s namesake city, in 2012. Commute-grinding construction began in earnest about a decade ago, resulting in partial closings that have slowed traffic and exhausted local residents and people travelling to and from New Brunswick’s northeast, who are left with only one other crossing nearby.
