Summary[edit]

Description Saugus River Drawbridge, spanning the Saugus River at the MBTA Railroad Eastern Route, Saugus, Essex County, Massachusetts, USA. The Saugus River Drawbridge is a single-leaf Strauss overhead counterweight bascule which is believed to be the oldest known example of its type in Massachusetts. It is particularly significant for its innovative engineering design and association with a prominent bridge engineer, Joseph Baermann Strauss, whose company designed the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
