Notes
  • Significance: Built in 1893, the Bridgeport Bridge represented one type of bridges which could be ordered from catalogues at the end of the nineteenth century. Except for the replacement of the partially wooden roadway surface with steel grating in 1950, the bridge remained basically unchanged. Because the floor beams had become structurally unsound, a new, self-supporting, load-bearing deck structure was installed inside the trusses of the Bridgeport Bridge in 1987. Designed as a temporary means of carrying traffic until a new vehicular bridge is built, the deck installed was prefabricated in England and is a modern-day successor to the Bailey bridge type. Current plans call for the building of a new vehicular bridge upstream. The Bridgeport bridge will remain as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge.
