Eleventh Street Bridge, Spanning Turners Fall Canal on Eleventh Street, Montague, Franklin County, MA

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 engineered by the Eastern Bridge & Structural Co. of Worcester, Massachusetts, a significant twentieth-century bridge manufacturing firm. 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.
