New Portland Wire Bridge

The New Portland Wire Bridge is a historic suspension bridge in New Portland, Maine. The bridge carries Wire Bridge Road across the Carrabassett River a short way north of the village center. Built in the mid-19th century, it is one of four 19th-century suspension bridges in the state. It is one lane wide, and has a weight limit of 3 tons. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.〔
==Description and history==
The bridge is in a rural setting, crossing the river just upstream of the mouth of Lemon Stream. The bridge is long and wide, sufficient to carry a single lane of traffic. The bridge towers are , and are set on abutments of large rough-quarried granite. The towers are covered in wooden shingles, and are constructed of beams. The main steel cables are about in diameter, and connected to the bridge decking by 204 steel girders. The cable ends are anchored by concrete and granite blocks with an estimated weight of 30 tons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for New Portland Wire Bridge )〕 The decking surface is wooden planks.
The construction history of the bridge is a matter of minor local controversy. One traditional account places its construction at 1840-42, under the auspices of Colonel F. B. Morse, who lived nearby and had been an engineer in the army. According to this account, Morse ordered the cables from Sheffield, England, and had them hauled overland from Hallowell by a large team of oxen. Local criticism of the work led the bridge to dubbed "Morse's Fool Bridge".〔 The official town history of the bridge is more prosaic, stating that it was built in 1864-66 by David Eider and Captain Charles Clark. The bridge was lasted rehabilitated in 2009-10; its towers and cable are original.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Town History )
