Summary

Significance: The Eleventh Street Bridge is a unique configuration of a double-intersection Warren through truss, with a pair of trusses on either side of the roadway, and lateral bracing between each pair, but none over the roadway.

The bridge was paid for and erected by the Turners Falls Company for the town of Montague, during a very significant period (1912-1915) of the hydro-electric development of Western Massachusetts.
