2. The Bridge Project

007.Cavender Road - Hancock

This is a pin-connected pony truss, built in 1906. A lovely bit of NH history. It desperately needs a better treatment with my camera. It connects the towns of Hancock and Greenfield over the Connecticut River. It is still open for pedestrian traffic. A "Statement of Significance" is available here.
