Eagle Lake Bridge Details

The carriage road passes underneath the bridge which carries State Route 233 above. It was built in 1927 and is 118 feet in length. The refined Gothic arch spans 30 feet. The arch is outlined in radiating voussoirs of the random-laid ashlar. This bridge was the object of a 1974 widening project that expanded the upper deck to accommodate State Route 233 traffic. The project received engineering awards for the division, the separation move made on a system of ball bearings, and the excellent re-seaming with the newly added masonry.
