A petition calling for the preservation of the Wheaton Covered Bridge on the High Marsh Road in Sackville has garnered over 1000 signatures so far.
CHMA talks with petition organizer Elita Rahn about why she thinks keeping the 100-year-old bridge is important, even if it means building another bridge to accommodate heavier farm equipment.
We also hear from farmers Weldon Estabrooks and Fred Anderson about the impact of the closed bridge, and what they would like to see happen with the Tantramar River crossing.
Meanwhile, the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure is not releasing any details about the options under consideration for the bridge, which has been closed since July
