“In Valor There is Hope” — Map (db m1048) | | Maine (Androscoggin County), Auburn — Cities of the Androscoggin — Lewiston-Auburn | | | The Lewiston-Auburn Railroad Bridge was erected in 1909 and served as a vital link to the downtown. It also provided the connection for thousands of Canadian, Irish, Polish and other immigrants to the area. Recognizing the bridge’s historic significance, the cities undertook a plan for its re-use. In November 1994, after being abandoned for over 25 years, the bridge was opened to the public as one of the most unique bicycle/pedestrian facilities in the United States. The award winning design reflects the railroad and mill history of the area. — Map (db m1050) |
