Albert Bridge, Nova Scotia
Albert Bridge (2001 pop.: 159) is a Canadian rural community in Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
Situated on the Mira River, the community was previously named Mira Ferry for the location of a small ferry crossing the river. It received its present name after Albert Munro, the son of William Henry Munro, Nova Scotia's representative in the British Parliament who used his influence to have the ferry replaced with a bridge in 1849.
The Mira River offers numerous water-based recreational opportunities during the summer months, including swimming, boating and canoeing. The bridge connects the two sides of the community, straddling the river.
The community's economy is tied to the summer recreational months with numerous cottages making the area most active during this time; much of the business activity is centred on servicing these seasonal residents.
Trunk 22 is the main road through the village and connects Sydney and Louisbourg.
