Doing it the "Wright" Way since 1984!

This project was undertaken using a very unique tension type shoring system.  This 256 foot bridge is a town lattice truss with arches and spans 256 feet over the Ammonoosuc River. The restoration included extensive replacements of rotten and broken truss members, 50% replacement of needle beams, complete reconstruction and replacement of 5 out of the 8 arch ends at their bearings, and choice replacements of floor beams, tie beams, bearing beams, rafters, and bracing components.
​
The bridge also received all new floor decking and siding, along with a new standing seam metal roof and a No-Char fire retardant coating. The north and south abutments, along with the center pier received new concrete caps. The bridge suffered from both a sweep and lean of the trusses and arches towards the sidewalk. The sweep was removed and the trusses and arches where plumbed and reshaped to their original geometry.
