Lowell Road Bridge (Original)
Posted March 8, 2019, by Mike Kerkau (mjkerkau [at] gmail [dot] com)

After seeing that the Townhall Bridge had been re-erected (the result notwithstanding), it makes me wonder if this has since been re-installed as it was intended as well. Though, I would not know where to look, as in even trying to check yesterday, I found out just how much ground the North Country Trail covers in the state...
