FRENCH KING BRIDGE

On our way back we stopped at the french king bridge. While walking towards the center  we could see many signs asking people no to jump.

The structure is a three-span “cantilever arch” bridge  that crosses the Connecticut River on the border between the towns of Erving and Gill, Massachusetts, United States.

The bridge was opened to traffic on September 10, 1932.

It was named the “Most Beautiful Steel Bridge” of 1932 by the American Institute of Steel Construction. The bridge was rebuilt in 1992, and refurbished in 2008–2010.
