Cheshire Bridge (Connecticut River)

The Cheshire Bridge spans the Connecticut River between Charlestown, New Hampshire, and Springfield, Vermont.

In 1897 the bridge was purchased by the Springfield Electric Railway.

[5] It was a three-span steel Pratt truss bridge, which had a 600-foot (180 m) span and a 20-foot (6.1 m)-wide roadway.

Vehicles ran both ways, and also freight and passenger cars.

In 1930 the bridge was replaced by the McClintic-Marshall Co. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at a cost of US$225,000 (US$4,100,000 with inflation[1]).
