Veterans Memorial Bridge, Truss bridge in Salem, Massachusetts.
The Veterans Memorial Bridge connects Salem and Beverly cities across the Danvers River with seven main spans and four approach spans using weathering steel construction.
The site functioned as a ferry crossing from 1636 to 1788, followed by multiple bridge constructions including an 1896 steel pony truss swing bridge by King Bridge Company.
Massachusetts Department of Transportation dedicated this bridge in 1996 to honor Salem veterans who served in the United States military forces.
The bridge carries Massachusetts Route 1A traffic and includes designated paths that allow both vehicles and pedestrians to cross between Salem and Beverly communities.
The longest span of the bridge measures 220 feet, while its approach spans range from 60 to 160 feet in length using weathering steel materials.
