General Pierce Bridge
The General Pierce Bridge is a steel truss road bridge over the Connecticut River between Greenfield, Massachusetts and Montague, Massachusetts carrying Montague City Road.
It is currently being scheduled for major repairs. After the Gill - Montague Bridge upstream is refurbished, the state will perform further work on this structure.〔(Franklin Region Transportation Plan, January 2007, chapter 5 )〕〔(Article in the Greenfield Recorder )〕
==Previous structures==
The current bridge was preceded at that location by two bridges destroyed in the Flood of 1936. Upstream was the wooden double-decked covered bridge known as the Montague City Bridge, and carried rail traffic on top, with other traffic below. It was built in 1866, and was over long, with 5 spans. Next was the trolley bridge, which was a metal through-truss.
When the Flood of 1936 came, the trolley bridge was knocked off its piers and sunk into the river, where it remains. The covered rail bridge floated down the river, where it knocked two spans off the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Bridge (now known as the Canalside Rail Trail Bridge), then proceeded down the river to destroy the Sunderland Bridge.〔
