The General John Stark Memorial Bridge is an under-construction bridge between Brattleboro, Vermont and Hinsdale, New Hampshire over the Connecticut River.[2] It will carry Vermont Route 119 and New Hampshire Route 119, supplanting the Anna Hunt Marsh Bridge and the Charles Dana Bridge which formerly connected these routes.[1] The Dana and Marsh bridges will become bicycling and pedestrian paths.[1]

History

[edit]

Replacing the Anna Hunt Marsh Bridge (Brattleboro, Vermont to Hinsdale Island) and the Charles Dana Bridge (Hinsdale Island to Hinsdale, New Hampshire) has been under consideration since the 1970s, but due to right of way and funding issues, had been delayed until 2017 when state[which?] transportation officials released plans for a new structure.[2]
