Missisquoi River Bridge

The Missisquoi River Bridge features two spans measuring 150 and 50 feet, connecting Richford, Vermont with Sutton, Quebec across international waters.

Built in 1929 by Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company, this bridge replaced a previous structure destroyed during the substantial floods of 1927.

The bridge links communities named after indigenous terms, with Missisquoi deriving from the Abenaki word meaning 'where there is flint'.

The structure maintains two traffic lanes on a concrete deck with a width of 21.6 feet and provides clearance of 15 feet at end portals.

The bridge serves as both a National Register of Historic Places monument and an international border crossing point between Canada and the United States.
