Historic Sites of Manitoba: Timber Through Truss Bridge (Roseau River, Dominion City, Municipality of Emerson-Franklin)This bridge crossing the Roseau River at Dominion City in the Municipality of Emerson-Franklin was unique in Manitoba. Built in 1938, it used a system of triangulated members—trusses—forming a rigid framework. What makes this bridge special was its material; where most truss bridges were made with steel, this one was of wood. Regrettably, the bridge is no longer present. The municipality is considering a proposal to erect a commemorative plaque at the site.
