Martin's Point Bridge, Road bridge in Portland, United States
Martin's Point Bridge extends 1,300 feet across the Presumpscot River, connecting Falmouth Foreside to the East Deering neighborhood of Portland.
The original bridge, constructed in 1828 by the Proprietors of the Martin's Point Bridge committee, operated as a toll bridge until its destruction by ice in 1861.
The structure represents an important element of Maine's transportation infrastructure, carrying U.S. Route 1 while integrating into the East Coast Greenway system.
The bridge accommodates 15,000 vehicles daily and includes dedicated bicycle lanes in both directions, plus a pedestrian lane on its eastern side.
The removal of Smelt Hill Dam in 2002 revealed the Presumpscot Falls near the bridge, changing the river's appearance after several centuries.
