"One photo shows the GZ. The GZ is on Duck Brook Bridge, a car road within Acadia National Park. The view from the GZ looks toward Frenchman's Bay (in the fog, not the best of days but we will be fogged in for the next few days). The final photo shows the bridge where I was standing at the GZ mid-point."

Information about the bridge:

Spanning Duck Brook on Paradise Hill Road, 1
mile SE of Hulls Cove Visitor Center, Acadia
National Park, Bar Harbor vicinity. Mount
Desert Island, Hancock County, Maine.

The last of the major bridges constructed in
Acadia National Park, Duck Brook Bridge is
also the largest road-related structure in
the park, and the largest continuous concrete
arch deck bridge in the eastern United
States.

Although Paradise Hill Road was completed in 1940, the construction of the bridge was delayed by the outbreak of World War II. Work finally got underway in August 1950.

On 8 October 1952, the last 600 pound block of granite was lifted
into place. Final work on the structure included placement of
the 3' sidewalks on each side, repairs of damage caused by heavy
construction equipment, and surfacing. Following completion of
the bridge the Paradise Hill Road opened in July 1953.
