This bridge was constructed by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company, of Canton, Ohio in 1888. The MA highway department classifies it as a Through-Truss Wrought Iron type, and indicates that it has been modified more than once during it's history. The bridge crosses the Millers river where it meets the Connecticut River - very near to, and a great viewing spot for the French King Bridge, which has it's own waymark. At one end of the bridge is the historic "Cabot Camp" - a preserved 19th century homestead.
