Parsonsfield-Porter Bridge 
Porter, ME

This is a picture of Porter Bridge

The Parsonsfield-Porter Bridge was built by the towns of Porter and Parsonsfield as a joint project over the Ossipee River in 1859. The bridge is a 152 foot structure of Paddleford construction strengthened with laminated wooded arches. The bridge, located one half mile south of Porter, was closed to traffic in 1960 when a new bridge was built upstream.
