History

The first bridge at this location was completed in 1806 by the Cheshire Bridge Co.[3] and was described as a Town lattice covered toll bridge, a wooden covered bridge. In 1897 the bridge was purchased by the Springfield Electric Railway.

In 1906 the old bridge was replaced by the Iron Bridge Co., at a cost of US$65,000 (US${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|65000|1906|r=-4}}}} with inflation).[4] It was a three-span steel Pratt truss bridge, which had a {{convert|600|ft|m|adj=on}} span and a {{convert|20|ft|m|

adj=on}}-wide roadway. Vehicles ran both ways, and also freight and passenger cars. In 1930 the bridge was replaced by the McClintic-Marshall Co. of Pittsburgh, PA at a cost of US$225,000 (US${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|225000|1930|r=-4}}}} with inflation).[5] It is a three-span Pennsylvania truss that is {{convert|489|ft|m}} feet long.

The bridge was purchased by the state of New Hampshire in 1992. Tolls were collected until 2001.[6]
