Haverhill Railroad Bridge
Posted March 29, 2011, by Nathan Holth (form3 [at] historicbridges [dot] org)

Got a loose $110 Million? Why spend a portion of it to repair a historic bridge when instead you can blow it all on a project to demolish and replace a beautiful, heavy duty riveted railroad truss bridge?
