Building Bridges in the North Country

Thousand Island bridge under construction at Wellesley Island

There’s a lot of water in the North Country, and as a result, there are a lot of bridges. Larger, newer ones, like the Ogdensburg-Prescott International bridge that reaches across the St. Lawrence, were long, complicated endeavors. Older, smaller bridges were built out of wood by smaller crews. Below is a collection of bridge-building photos from across our region.
