This bridge was built from 1900 - 1902 was one of several built over the years finally ending up with the
strong stone supports and a roadway that are still in place into the 21'st century.
Due to the fact that there is a trolley car, and horse and buggy we can guess at the
year that the picture was taken as buggies were out of use for the most part after gasoline powered vehicles
became more popular.
The trolley system changed over to busses starting with the New Bedford to Fall River run in 1933 and in May
of 1947, the trolley system was totally abandoned in favor of busses.
