In Walpole, near East Street, is the Spring Brook Park Bridge, a truss bridge that carries a path over Spring Brook.
The park is a small green segment along East Street, and is about a tenth mile east of the intersection of East Street and Main Street. There is plenty of parking just west of the bridge and park.
The bridge is a white metal structure that is oriented about northeast-southwest over the brook. It is visible at a distance from several directions. The bridge is a truss bridge with an arch profile. It is about 24 m (100 ft) long and 10 ft wide.
The bridge was designed and constructed by the local student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) at Northeastern University. It was completed in 2015.
The path is a connector between the parking lot in downtown Walpole to a bridge by a pond to the east. The path is also part of the Bay Circuit Trail that arcs around the city of Boston.
