Old Bridgeway is an independent informational reference about historic covered bridges in Canada. It collects descriptions of individual bridges, explains the timber truss systems that support them, and notes how communities and heritage bodies work to keep them standing.
What this site covers
The focus is narrow and deliberate: covered bridges across Canadian provinces, their architecture, and their preservation. Articles describe specific structures such as the Hartland bridge in New Brunswick and the Wakefield bridge in Quebec, and explain the engineering behind them.
How the material is prepared
Descriptions are written in plain, descriptive English and draw on publicly available references. Where exact figures are uncertain, the text uses neutral wording rather than inventing numbers. Photographs are sourced from Wikimedia Commons under their respective licenses, with the source noted in each caption.
