View looking westerly along Highway 2/53 from the twin Fairchild Creek
bridges. Highway 2/53 is generally not a divided highway between
Brantford and Ancaster, in this case, however, the highway has widened only to cross
the twin Fairchild Creek bridges.

Two views looking westerly across the twin Fairchilds Creek Bridges. The Bowstring Bridge on the right of the photo was
completed in 1931 and
rehabilitated in 2005. The rehabilitation of the 1931 Fairchilds
Creek bridge proved to be one of Ontario's most detailed and historically
accurate rehabilitations of a concrete bowstring bridge.
