and two steel beam approach spans. This bridge was built on the Monteith Diversion, a long realignment of Hwy 11 which bypassed the communities of Matheson, Monteith
and Porquis Junction. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2007 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing south along Hwy 577 towards Monteith at the Meadow Creek Bridge. This narrow structure is really only one lane wide. Northbound traffic on Hwy 577 is required to yield right-of-way to any southbound Hwy 577 traffic departing from Iroquois Falls. Fortunately, Hwy 577 is not a busy highway, so wait times for northbound motorists are minimal. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2007 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - The Meadow Creek Bridge is a steel beam bridge supported on a creosoted timber trestle. This 12-span structure was completed in 1942, years before the
