The bridge on the right served travelers crossing the Connecticut River from Vermont to New Hampshire until it became unsafe and was replaced by this new bridge, designed to mirror the arched aesthetic of its older sister.
i love the old house thursday. excellent red and the door is great. I also like that both of us posted fresh produce on Friday. I like Farmer's markets and am glad you support them also. Your bridges are grat also.
Do they plan to demolish the old bridge or restore it and make what we call a "dual-carriageway" or maybe open the old one just for pedestrians, cyclists and horse-riders?
I would just like to see the old bridge get a new coat of paint . . . but then that costs a bundle of money . . . and it costs a bundle of money to demolish the old one . . . now I see ;-) You caught this at the right time with snow blocking the pathway of the old.

The first thing that comes to mind is that, "if the design isn't broken, don't fix it!"
Our community definitely agrees with you.
Hi
It's no new no old but it's attractive bridges.
I like that they copied the original!

Fine and curious, never say old-fashioned!

Quite interesting! Old and new side by side.
