Bridge stolen from Shell River linked to Asessippi history
The hand forged solid steel bridge spanning the Shell River near Asessippi has been stolen in the last weeks. Built in 1893 by Central Bridge Building Co of Peterborough, it was among the region’s first designs and possibly the province’s last of its kind. The loss erases a heritage link as Roblin’s CN Rail shift altered the town’s fate. Police urge sightings.
