Waterous Bridge Taken Down

WGN 21-09-01#2

 

Sept. 12, 2008, Pepperell, MA - The old bridge is gone, just the abutments and piers gone. The plan is to replace it with a new covered bridge to be built in upstate New York and reassembled here.

Named the Chester H. Waterous, the 108 foot span was built to cross the Nashua River in 1963 using a variation of the Pratt Truss. This span replaced an earlier one.
