Heritage should be preserved, not demolished because it's more convenient to do so.

I 've heard that this can be rebuilt as a wood bridge keeping with heritage aesthetics at a lower cost, longer lasting and less time to build then the proposed steel bridge replacement.

I live within a 5 min walk to the French Village Bridge in Covered Bridge Estates. We do not want this bridge replaced with a steel structure.

My family travel have travelled this bridge for 41 years on a steady basis and can't imagine it not being repaired.

All covered bridges should be saved, after all they don't build them anymore and are amazing.

Historic bridges are disappearing at an alarming rate because of irresponsible drivers and vandals. We cannot afford to willingly dismantle the reaming ones. We must preserve these remaining treasures for our future generations. The life span of a covered bridge can exceed the life span of two or more concrete and steel bridges. If inspected and maintained they could serve the public for centuries.

That covered bridge is highly visible from the main highway and has a lot of potential as a tourist attraction. It is a part of the local heritage as well. Also, the whole reason the bridge needs repaired is due to human error and the idiot who rammed the piece of heavy equipment into the bridge, trying to drive through it. Ridiculous!

Covered Bridges are our heritage & a big part of what New Brunswick is known for. We should be promoting them more & not taking them down.

There is no reason at all for this Bridge not to be repaired and continued to be used

No more covered bridges should be shut down, they're important and we'll known. Plus it will take less time to fix it than to build another

Time to think about what makes New Brunswick different and worth visiting/living here. Part of our built heritage.

The bridges of New Brunswick are part of our heritage and can be preserved most economically with replacing the damage with new wood .
