Summary[edit]

Description

Taken from the pedestrian Swinging Bridge over the Androscoggin River in Brunswick, Maine. I was drawn to the nice cloud reflection in the open water.

The now unused bridge in the distance once had rail traffic on the top level and highway traffic in the level underneath.  It is slated for removal.  It opened in 1909.  It connects Brunswick with Topsham, Maine
Only identified example of an unusual double-deck railroad and suspended vehicular bridge in the state, and a fine example of a rivet-connected Baltimore thru truss design. It is one of only four 1890-1928 Baltimore truss bridges identified in a recent state bridge survey. It was built in 1909 to replace an 1880 double-deck bridge, and illustrates the evolution of the truss type into a heavily-built structure capable of supporting increased locomotive weights. It carries a minor branch of the Maine Central, today used for local traffic, and is an alternate route to a larger road bridge downstream for road travel between Brunswick and Topsham.
