The Massena Center Bridge Centennial

The cable suspension bridge over the Grasse River in Massena Center, NY will be one hundred years old in 2010. It was a project that Holton Duncan Robinson took on in the town he was born in before taking on larger projects. Mr. Robinson took out patents that greatly improved the time it takes to build a suspension bridge and was able to lower costs without compromising integrity at a time when such savings were desperately needed.
I remember crossing the single lane bridge in a car but it's now closed to all foot and vehicle traffic.
