Sagamore Bridge, Through arch bridge in Sagamore, Massachusetts, United States.
The Sagamore Bridge spans 1,408 feet across the Cape Cod Canal with a main arch extending 616 feet and providing 135 feet of ship clearance.
The Public Works Administration constructed this steel bridge during the Great Depression, completing the structure for its official opening on June 22, 1935.
The bridge replaced an older drawbridge and functions as the northeastern gateway to Cape Cod, connecting mainland Massachusetts with the popular coastal region.
Route 6 and the Claire Saltonstall Bikeway cross the bridge, which includes a six-foot-wide sidewalk on its eastern side for pedestrians and cyclists.
The bridge design served as a model for the John Greenleaf Whittier Bridge, connecting Newburyport to Amesbury in Massachusetts.
