68C074 is on the southeast side of the Trans Canada Highway, in the northwest face of the end block which anchors the east side suspension cable. It is near the northeast end of the large block, six inches above a larger base which is about 1.5 feet in height.
Directly across the highway, in the matching anchor block, is the date plaque for the bridge, reminding us that the bridge came onto service in 1961.
