Geocache Description:

The Borden bridge is an abandoned arch bridge that crosses the North Saskatchewan River near Borden, Saskatchewan. It used to carry highway 16 traffic, but is still open to foot traffic.

The old concrete bowstring-arch bridge was built as a "make work" project during the Great Depression. It opened in 1937 replacing a ferry service. It was designed by Bev Evans for his master's thesis while a graduate student at the University of Saskatchewan.

Construction took place between 1935-37 by R.J.Arrand Co. of Saskatoon. This bridge was the longest bow-string arch bridge in North America at the time of construction. (250 metres)

You will be looking for an ammo can. Please make sure to replace it as you found it, well hidden for the next cacher and that a muggle won't find it!
