Stone Bridge ConstructionWhile contemporary methods and materials will be used to ensure long-term durability, this work will not change the bridge’s historic look and feel.
Additional work includes repairing damage to the center pier caused by years of erosion and replacing the deteriorating cement coating on the underside of the bridge. Missing and damaged stones on the exterior of the bridge will be replaced and repaired using techniques employed when the bridge was completed in the 1880s. ![]() NPS Photo About the Historic Stone Bridge
