Wire Bridge & Stanley Museum152 mi/244.6 km3 hrs 33 min round trip without stops/trafficThe Wire Suspension Bridge spanning the Carrabassett River in New Portland is a unique structure, the only survivor of four such bridges built in Maine in the 1800’s and probably the only such bridge still standing in the US.

The towers are constructed of timber framing and covered with boards protected by cedar shingles. In 1959 the 99th Maine Legislature enacted legislation for the preservation of this bridge. The bridge was renovated in 1961, when the tower bases were capped with concrete, the towers were rebuilt, steel suspender rods were replaced by steel cables, and a new timber deck was installed. The tower framing timbers and main support cables are the original material; the span between towers is 198 feet. There’s room to make a U-turn on the other side should you wish to cross.

You’ve heard about Stanley Steamer automobiles, but did you know the entire family was talented? Visit the Stanley Museum to learn about their contributions.
