Inkerman Bridge Detour

This route includes a temporary detour on a road with vehicle traffic, as well as bridge and road crossings that require a higher level of skill. Make a wise choice. To avoid this detour, you can park at Inkerman Church and continue off-road by bike towards Tracadie, or park at Chemin Nardini for access to the sections traveling towards Caraquet and Bertrand, or towards Shippagan and Lamèque. Good road!
