This bridge over Woodroffe Avenue dates from 1978. It was designed to carry two sets of railroad tracks but the second set of tracks was never needed. Before this bridge was in place, the Canadian National Railways' Beachburg subdivision crossed Woodroffe Avenue as a level crossing at mileage 8.6, a crossing which itself dated back to 1915.

In 2018, the bridge carries only one short train a week in each direction.

Bridge Type: Rigid Frame (Concrete Deck and Supports)
