A fairly old bridge over a river named "Old", this bridge is a good fit for its location.

A three span truss bridge, given that it has a wood plank deck, we can guess that the bridge was built around the 1930s or '40s. We have discovered that the bridge underwent repairs in November of 2016, the extent and nature of which we do not know. About 160 feet in total length, the bridge doubtless has a weight limit, but we don't recall seeing a sign to that effect. Overall, it seems to be in comparatively good condition as yet.
On Highway 811 straight north out of Fort MacLeod, this is a single lane bridge.
