The second bridge

The second bridge was opened in 1918 to replace the old Broadway bridge. The second bridge was oriented slightly to the north on the west side, eventually connecting with Main Street about 500 metres from Broadway. Construction began in 1911 and was completed in 1912. Streetcars began operating on the bridge on December 3, 1925. The second bridge was dismantled in 2001 for the opening of the third (current) bridge.
