onecrazycanadian: Hi,

The low health score on this cache has remained below 60 since my last contact. I see no sign of any maintenance being done to correct this and I have had no response from the owner since my last contact. Due to the lack of response I have no idea if any corrective action has been taken or if the owner has confirmed the cache is still in place. Consequently I am archiving the cache at this time.

Under the following portion of the guidelines contained in the Help Center, it states the cache will not be unarchived if it was archived for lack of maintenance.

Geocache Description:

Enjoy the history of the bridge

Plan to be in Ste Anne on the hour from 8am to 8pm to hear the church bells ringing again!

Piney Road Cement Bridge

The first bridge to cross the Seine River at this location was the Pelland Bridge built in the mid 1800s. This was the only means in the area to cross the Seine River outside of using a boat.

The original bridge was removed and replaced by this existing cement bridge in 1921.

The lumber from the old bridge was used as forms for the present bridge which was constructed of concrete and reinforcing steel in accordance with the specifications of the Engineer of the Provincial Good Roads Board.

The rural municipality of Ste Anne adopted by law #125 July 5 1920 authorizing the construction of the new bridge at a cost estimated of $12,000 of which ½ was paid by the Government of Manitoba and the balance financed with 30 year debentures at the rate of interest of 6%. ($12,000 then is over $250,000 today.)

The Town of Ste Anne has plans to restore the bridge to it’s original condition to preserve it’s history and to ensure it’s safe use.

Small camoed micro sized container; very small tradeables and log sheets
