Woodsville in Bath in Grafton County, New Hampshire — The American Northeast (New England)
Bath Bridge
Erected in 1928, this riveted steel Warren truss span was built to replace a wooded span destroyed in the 1927 flood. This efficient truss design is based on a series of equilateral triangles with verticals added for strength. Boston Bridge Works fabricated the structure in Elmira, NY. Reflecting recent improvements in steel technology, the bridge incorporates rolled I-beams that minimized shop time and eased assembly in the field. This standard plan was also used in Bethlehem Hollow.
Erected 2009 by New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources. (Marker Number 217.)
