Bridge Documentation

This bridge no longer exists!

Bridge Status: This historic bridge was demolished and replaced!

This nice little two panel pin-connected truss bridge was demolished and replaced even though the trusses were functioning as decorations only. It was replaced with a slab of concrete. The nearby Over The Bridge Wine Bar will now have to change the truss logo on its sign to a horizontal line and change its name to "Over the Slab Wine." Or perhaps "Driven To Drink" might be a good rename given that is what will happen to anyone visiting the area hoping to see this historic bridge! It is unclear why the bridge trusses were not retained and placed on the replacement bridge as decorations. In its form seen in these photos, the trusses were not functioning and were decorative only. They lacked u-bolts and a floorbeam. Instead a series of extremely shallow i-beams carried loads. 

The local Images of America volume shows a picture of what is likely this bridge on a dirt road, with the common Groton semi-circle plaques still intact on top.  

Also included in the photo gallery is something that may be of interest to bridge enthusiasts. Nearby in this same town is the Glenn H Curtiss Museum, which has a caboose on its property. Inside this caboose are several bridge plaques from unknown locations. 

The estimated bridge length given would make this one of the shortest pony trusses documented on HistoricBridges.org.
