Historic Sites of Manitoba: Whitemouth River Bridge (Whitemouth River, RM of Whitemouth)
A steel truss bridge once enabled the Trans-Canada Highway to span the Whitemouth River at this site in the Rural Municipality of Whitemouth. In 1969, the bridge was moved to another site on the river but its concrete abutments are still visible on both banks of the river. The Trans-Canada Highway was rerouted southward and this route is now Provincial Trunk Highway 44.
