1912: (Broken Archived Bridge Hunter; no Historic Bridges;
Satellite)
I'm saving a satellite image because the old bridge has been removed.
They first built a temporary bridge. This view of the construction also provides a view of the old bridge.
Obviously, the new bridge is a steel-girder bridge.
It looks like they did tandem lifts of the girders to build the spans. Actually, after looking closer, it looks like the far crane is holding most of the weight. The near crane must just be stabilizing the girder.
Five photos from the
reed-reed gallery, 3 of constructing the new bridge and 2 of deconstructing the old bridge.

Today (Nov 11, 2024), I learned of two truss bridges because they had been destroyed. The other one was
Four Bears Bridge.
MaineDOT posted three photos with the comment: "Demolition of the old Madawaska-Edmundston International Bridge is nearing completion as Demolition Plus has successfully removed the last pier on the U.S. side. Meanwhile, Reed & Reed is actively dismantling the temporary mid-river trestle, one of the final steps in the demolition process. Check out these pictures of the work being done."
