The longest covered bridge in the world (Hartland - Canada)
(EN) The Hartland Bridge in Hartland, New Brunswick, is the world's longest covered bridge, at 391 metres (1,283 ft) long. It crosses the Saint John River from Hartland to Somerville, New Brunswick, Canada. The framework consists of seven small Howe Truss bridges joined together on six piers.
Before the bridge, the only way to cross the Saint John River was by ferry. Plans and specifications of the bridge began in 1898 and the bridge was constructed in 1901 by the Hartland Bridge Company. On May 13, 1901, Dr. Estey was the first person to cross the bridge before its scheduled opening, because he had to respond to an emergency call. Workers placed planks on the bridge so he could drive across the bridge. It was finally inaugurated by Justice McKeowan on July 4, 1901 before a crowd of 2,000 people. It was funded by tolls[5] until it was purchased by the provincial government on May 1, 1906. The bridge was not originally built covered.
A fire in 1907 burnt some of the structure and nearly destroyed the toll house.
On April 6, 1920, two spans of the bridge collapsed due to river ice. The bridge reopened in 1922 after construction to repair the structure, at which time the bridge was also covered, despite some local opposition. The wooden piers were also converted to concrete.
A pedestrian walkway was added to the bridge in 1945. In 1966, vandals attempted to burn the bridge down.The bridge was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980,[3] and a Provincial Historic Site in 1999.
In 1982, the bridge was again closed for repairs after a car struck a steel beam, causing part of the bridge to drop. The bridge was reopened to traffic on February 10, 1983.
In the winter of 2007, the bridge was closed due to the central beam splitting down the middle. It has since been reopened after repairs were carried out.
On July 4, 2012, in honour of its 111th anniversary, it was celebrated with a Google Doodle on Google's Canadian homepage.
(F) Le pont de Hartland (anglais : Hartland Bridge) est un pont couvert traversant le fleuve Saint-Jean entre Hartland et Somerville, au Nouveau-Brunswick (Canada). Avec ses 391 mètres de longueur, il est le plus long pont couvert au monde. Construit en 1901 mais pas encore couvert, il se détériore rapidement sous l'effet des intempéries et il est partiellement détruit lors d'un embâcle en 1920. Profitant de sa fermeture et des réparations, il est couvert et rouvre en 1922. Il devient un lieu historique national en 1977. Présent dans la culture néo-brunswickoise, il est également un site fréquenté par les touristes. Le pont de Hartland a une longueur de 390,75 mètres (1 282 pieds), ce qui en fait le plus long pont couvert au monde Il est aussi le plus long pont couvert jamais construit au Canada, le second étant un pont de 377 mètres sur la rivière Batiscan, au Québec, en fonction entre 1844 et 1870. Il a en revanche déjà existé des ponts couverts plus longs ailleurs dans le monde, notamment le pont Columbia-Wrightsville, en Pennsylvanie, construit en 1814 et qui mesurait 1 524 mètres de longueur, traversant le fleuve Susquehanna jusqu'à sa destruction en 1863 durant la guerre de Sécession.
Le pont de Hartland ne compte qu'une seule voie de circulatio et ne permet le passage qu'aux véhicules ayant une masse inférieure à 10 tonnes et une hauteur inférieure à 4,20 mètres (13 pieds et 9 pouces). Une petite galerie, elle-aussi couverte et permettant le passage des piétons, est accolée sur le côté sud du pont.
