Plaque 1884 Groton Iron Bridge Co. |
I can't wait till they get rid of this useless eye sore. This bridge is falling apart. The school buses and emergence vehicles can't cross it. This think is in such bad shape, the highway department can't even plow it after a show storm. They've added one large steel plate to cover a gaping hole in the deck and need to add another before something falls through. To bad the thing wasn't made of wood!
I've read on the web, it's going to be replace in 2009. That's if the local hysterical society doesn't muck things up.
Wow, this really brings back memories of my teen years. Remember when we used to think that was "the spot". Everyone used to meet there and hang out. It's also the place we would go to sneak a cigarette! What fun memories!
This brings back so many memories. I grew up hanging out there every summer until we finally moved up there in 1976 and then my friends and I would hang out at "the bridge" everyday. We caught the schoolbus there each morning and got off the bus each afternoon. We lived only 2 houses away from it. My brother fished there daily and we even swam under it.In bad weather we hung out under "the bridge" I love that place.It is a beautiful bridge and in the fall with all the colors on the trees it is a beautiful site.
