Description

When the snow had finally ended during a recent winter's storm, my wife and I took a photographic trip out to Erving and Gill in Central/Western Massachusetts o to view one of our favorite bridges in the freshly fallen snow. This view is of the French King Bridge taken from a position right in the middle of the East Mineral Road Footbridge in Erving.


"The French King Bridge is the 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, part of Route 2 in Massachusetts carries automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic and is owned and managed by the Mass. Dept. of Transportation.
The French King Bridge (FKB) 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."
