Twin Bridges

Twin Bridges consists of two separate wooden structures crossing Huntington Creek, each with different structural designs and engineering approaches. One bridge uses Queenpost construction while the other employs Burr Arch Truss design, reflecting contrasting building techniques of the period.

These bridges were built in 1884 as examples of different engineering approaches used during that same period. Their construction involved a contractor and a local sawmill operator who supplied the timber for the project.

The site serves visitors as a quiet gathering place with picnic tables and benches beneath trees, where people enjoy outdoor meals and time in nature. The setting encourages families and friends to spend leisure moments together in a green environment.

The bridges are located a short distance from the main road and are easy to reach by following directional signs to the site. They are open only to foot traffic, making them a good spot for walking and enjoying the surroundings.

The two bridges display side-by-side two different construction methods, allowing visitors to compare engineering approaches directly from the ground. This comparison makes the location an interesting case study in building techniques from the 1880s.
