This is a lenticular pony truss bridge, which was invented in
the 1840's and became one of the most popular bridge designs in the
latter half of the 19th century. Despite the fact that many
hundreds of these bridges were built, it is estimated that only 50
lenticular truss bridges remain nationwide and a small percentage
of these still carry traffic. This is one of the few.
This cache is two milestones for me. It's my first one in an
Altoids tin and I learned what lenticular means.
There is no parking on the bridge, or on Bear Swamp Rd. Parking
is available a small turnout a few hundred feet north of he bridge
on Route 202.
This is an active bridge, so please be alert while
searching!!!!!
