 Left - The Aubrey Cosens Memorial Bridge in Latchford, shortly after the deck partially failed (Photograph taken on January 19, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The deck of the Aubrey Cosens Memorial Bridge in Latchford failed on January 14, 2003 (Photograph taken on January 19, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - The deck failure affected the southbound lane, at the north end of the span (Photograph taken on January 19, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Close-up view of the collapsed deck of the Montreal River Bridge at Latchford (Photograph taken on January 19, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - The deck failure caused a full closure of Hwy 11 between North Bay and New Liskeard for several weeks. No practical alternate routes were available in Ontario to bypass the damaged bridge, so traffic was re-routed through Quebec until a temporary bridge was installed. (Photograph taken on January 19, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Only five days after the failure on January 14th, construction of the new temporary bridge was already well underway. In the background, a bulldozer grades a causeway to carry a temporary Hwy 11 Bridge across the Montreal River. (Photograph taken on January 19, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers)

 Left - Temporary Hwy 11 Bridge under construction on the eastern side of the failed span at Latchford (Photograph taken on January 19, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The Latchford Dam (at left) was opened to pedestrian traffic to allow Latchford residents living south of the bridge to access the rest of the town. While the passage across the dam could be made on foot in about 1 minute, the distance by car from the south end of Latchford to the north end of Latchford via the detour through Quebec was roughly 370 km.

 Left - The closed Sgt. Aubrey Cosens Memorial Bridge in Latchford, which failed in Jan. 2003 (Photograph taken on August 17, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The Aubrey Cosens Bridge was temporarily put out of service in 2003-2004 (Photograph taken on August 17, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - The north portion of the span collapsed during a record cold snap which caused the suspension cables to break away from the overhead arches. Nobody was injured in the January 14th incident, but Hwy 11 was closed to traffic for 2 weeks until a temporary bridge was built. (Photograph taken on August 17, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Close-up of the demolished bridge deck. Note the temporary modular bridge at left. The bridge was re-decked in 2004, and was put back into service in 2005. (Photograph taken on August 17, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) |
