[32-22-01]

 

Salisbury, NY, August 19, 2004 - The restoration work on the Salisbury Bridge was recently completed with an infusion of $153,000 in federal funds.

The fifty-foot bridge, built in 1875 by Alvah Hopson, crosses Spruce Creek using a multiple kingpost truss with Burr Arch.

The bridge roadway has been replaced as well as parts of the truss. The roof system has been renewed with new steel sheathing.
