Hartland Covered Bridge

　　The Hartland Covered Bridge is the longest covered bridge in the world, located in the village of Hartland, New Brunswick, spanning the Saint John River. It is 391 meters long and was built in 1921.

　　The original bridge was constructed between 1898 and 1901, officially opened on July 4, 1901, but was damaged in 1920. It was rebuilt in 1921 and placed on new concrete piers. A roof was added in 1922, a sidewalk in 1945, and it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980. The Olympic torch passed over the bridge during the 1988 Winter Olympics. On September 1, 1995, Canada Post issued a set of four “Bridges” stamps, one of which featured the Hartland Covered Bridge.
