Fate of damaged covered bridge discussed today

A meeting will be held today with local residents to help decide the future of the Hammond River Number 2 Covered Bridge in Quispamsis.

Officials with the Transportation Department will present options for the bridge, which was closed after an excavator went through the deck. The province is considering whether the bridge should be replaced by a new bridge or if the century old bridge is worth repairing.

An autopsy is being done on the body of a woman pulled from the Petitcodiac River on the weekend.

A woman walking along the Riverfront Trail behind the Chateau Moncton, spotted the body in the water yesterday morning. By the time fire fighters got to it it was on the Riverview side.

The woman is believed to be in her late 50s or 60s….there was no I-D with the body.
