A Parker Through Truss bridge built in 1928, one of only a small number of Parker bridges remaining in the Missisquoi River corridor.
It was built after the 1927 as part of the flood reconstruction effort. Its design was frequently used for longer span crossings (greater than 160 feet). This bridge exhibits rolled beams used as verticals and diagonals in the truss webs, an innovation that distinguishes post-1927 bridges from earlier, more lightly built spans.
The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it was rehabbed in 1994.
Length of Span: Approximately 200 feet (60.9 m)
Parking Coordinates:: Not Listed
