1864 MOSELEY WROUGHT-IRON ARCH BRIDGE: ITS REHABILITATION

The rehabilitation of a Moseley wrought-iron arch is described along with a history of the development of the arch and its builder. The bridge, originally build in 1864 over the North Canal in Lawrence, Massachusetts, is the last bridge of its type that is currently carrying load in the United States. It is the oldest iron bridge in Massachusetts and one of, if not the oldest, riveted wrought-iron bridges in the country.
