About Barkers Point

The Fredericton Railway Bridge is a former railway bridge in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada now used to carry pedestrians and cyclists. It crosses the Saint John River from the east end of Fredericton's central business district on the west bank of the river to the former community of South Devon (amalgamated into

Fredericton claims it is the "world's longest walking bridge." On June 7, 2008, the bridge was renamed the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge, after a founder of the Fredericton Trail System. As of 2018, over 600,000 users cross the bridge every year. In 2022 the bridge became the start point of the “Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge parkrun” which is a 5 km event which takes place weekly on a Saturday utilising the bridge and the South Riverfront trail. The overpass beneath the bridge along Waterloo Row has a low clearance and has been known to trap transport trucks attempting to pass underneath. There have been at least 15 incidents since 2007 where trucks have been lodged in the underpass, with three occurring between September and October 2025.
