General Pierce Bridge, Road bridge in Greenfield, United States
The General Pierce Bridge spans 753 feet across the Connecticut River, connecting the communities of Greenfield and Montague through Montague City Road.
Built in 1947, this steel structure replaced two earlier bridges that were destroyed during the devastating flood of 1936, including a wooden double-decked covered bridge.
The bridge design incorporates both Pennsylvania and Parker through truss spans, reflecting mid-20th century American engineering practices in transportation infrastructure.
Following extensive rehabilitation completed in March 2023, the bridge now features a new composite deck, updated structural elements, and 770 feet of lighting for improved safety.
The structure contains heavy portal bracing with two rows of lattice and exhibits an unconventional skew in its truss spans construction.
