Berry Bridge

[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text]Berry Bridge is a charming, one-lane, wooden-decked bridge that provides a beautiful view of the river and nearby Berry Falls. Completed in 1921 by the Pioneer Construction Company, the bridge is one of the few surviving bridges built under the State Aid Bridge System. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 as “a well-preserved, long-span example of the riveted Pratt through truss.” Berry Bridge is heavily used in the summer. Both the bridge and the nearby falls are named Berry. Likely named after Susan J. Berry, a widowed homesteader who settled nearby in 1883 with eight children. The original Berry Bridge (1899) was one of only four bridges intact after the previously mentioned 1916 ice-jam flood. You can also see the two rusted bases of an older bridge just upstream. That bridge was moved in 1921 to become Brewer Bridge.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
