Old Red Bridge
Old Red Bridge, originally known as Red Bridge and the Upper Suspension Bridge, was a cable-stayed suspension bridge crossing the Connecticut River between the town of Gill with the village of Turners Falls in Franklin County, Massachusetts. The bridge opened in 1878 and was demolished in 1942. An anchorage remaining from the bridge was spared from demolition in 1985 when Gill residents voted to preserve the structure, which contained rare armored mud balls that had been discovered by a local geology professor. Old Red Bridge was subsequently designated as a state historic civil engineering landmark and its anchorage is a contributing structure within the Riverside Village Historic District.
