MBTA - Essex Street Overpass
Description
"The thru plate girder bridge is probably the third bridge constructed on this site. It has 2 approach spans, both of which are deck plate girders. Four stringers support each of the two tracks. The stone abutments are laid in 7 courses with concrete caps on the western side. The approach spans are supported by steel bents with cross-bracing. This bridge replaced an earlier bridge fabricated by the New England Structural Company in 1905 which was part of a grade-crossing elimination project in the city of Haverhill." - Massachusetts Historical Commission (P.K. Lazrus, MBTA Historic Property Survey, 11/1987)
