Frank J. Wood Bridge

The Frank J. Wood Bridge is a steel truss structure crossing the Androscoggin River between Brunswick and Topsham. It features three main spans constructed from steel and concrete.

Built in 1932 by Boston Bridge Works, the bridge replaced an earlier crossing at this location. It was named after a local farmer who suggested its site.

The bridge connects two communities and has shaped the landscape for generations of local residents. It remains central to how people move between Brunswick and Topsham in their daily routines.

The crossing is currently monitored due to structural concerns and replacement plans are underway. Visitors should check current traffic information as conditions on this route may change.

Local residents often call this crossing The Green Bridge due to its distinctive coloring. This informal name remains common among longtime residents even as the official designation is less widely recognized.
