Ranger Bridge, Steel arch bridge between Wells River and Woodsville, United States.
Ranger Bridge is a steel arch truss bridge that crosses the Connecticut River between New Hampshire and Vermont along U.S. Route 302. The structure features a three-hinged arch design that spans the river in a single graceful curve.
This bridge was built in 1923 by the Boston Bridge Company following a design by J.R. Worcester. It replaced an earlier bridge that was destroyed by flooding.
The bridge stands as the oldest steel arch crossing over the Connecticut River, demonstrating engineering methods from the early twentieth century.
The bridge serves as a major traffic corridor, used daily by cars and pedestrians to cross between the two states. Both vehicle and foot traffic cross safely thanks to its sturdy modern infrastructure maintained through regular repairs.
Located at coordinates 44°09′14″N and 72°02′27″W, this bridge serves as a critical transportation link between two New England states.
