Description
The Forest Home Bridge carries Forest Home Road over Fall Creek in Forest Home, New York. The double-intersection Warren through truss was constructed in 1909 by the Groton Bridge Company of Groton, New York. The bridge was extensively rehabilitated in 2013-14, during which time the truss was rendered obsolete by making it non-load bearing.
