Description
The Cheney Brook Bridge consists of a skewed deck plate girder superstructure resting on rough-cut stone abutments. The girders were likely installed in the early 20th century, but the abutments may be older. The railroad (NYNH&H Midland Route, former Hartford, Providence & Fishkill Railroad) was abandoned in 1972 and the bridge has since been converted for use as part of the Hop River State Park Trail.
