Carlton Bridge, Railway bridge in Sagadahoc County, US
The Carlton Bridge spans the Kennebec River between Bath and Woolwich, featuring a vertical lift mechanism for marine traffic passage.
Constructed in 1927 by the McClintic-Marshall Company of Pittsburgh, the bridge initially supported both railway tracks and vehicle lanes until 2000.
The structure represents early 20th-century engineering methods, utilizing a metal 9-panel rivet-connected Warren deck truss for its movable section.
The lower deck remains active for freight trains serving manufacturers in Thomaston, while the upper deck no longer connects to road access.
The bridge measures 3,098 feet in total length and contains the last downstream fixed crossing point over the Kennebec River.
