The Ponakin Bridge is a historic Post truss bridge in Lancaster, Massachusetts. The bridge was built in 1871, and originally carried the main north-south road (now Ponakin Road), which was bypassed by the construction of Massachusetts Route 70.[2] It is now unsafe and closed even to pedestrians.
The bridge trusses consist of eight paneled sections with a total span of 100 feet (30 m) and a width of 20 feet (6.1 m). It rests on granite stone abutments. The decking consists of a base of cross timbers which are attached to the trusses, with wood stringers, then transverse cross timbers, and finally three inch deck planking.[2]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
