FRANKLIN NH
The Franklin City Council this week voted 7-1 to rehabilitate the historic Trestle bridge.
The Trestle Bridge was built in 1890 to carry railroad traffic connecting the Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad to the Northern Railroad. It became defunct in the 1970s, and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
According to officials the cost to repair the bridge’s aged wood and instability is estimated at $1 million dollars.
