Grand Narrows
Canada
The Grand Narrows Bridge, often called the Barra Strait Bridge, is a fascinating piece of history in Cape Breton. Built with a swing section that pivots open for boats, it stretches about 516 meters (1,693 feet) across the Barra Strait. When it opened in 1891, it proudly held the title of Canada’s longest railway bridge.
