Did you ever wonder about the origin of the metal foot bridge in Littleton, NH connecting South Street to Riverside Drive? The bridge sways when walking on it, intimidates dogs and children, but inspires the sense of adventure when walking across the Ammonoosuc River. In the 1800's the bridge was erected for workers of the Saranac Glove Factory to walk from their homes on South Street to the factory. Today it is still a means of getting across the river, as a walking route for daily exercise, students heading to and from school and a means to access Littleton's Main Street. This bridge across the Ammonoosuc is one of four in the downtown area and is part of a lovely walk in and around downtown Littleton. Start at the Cottage Street Bridge, follow the path to the covered walking bridge on to the the Ken Curran suspension bridge and then finally to the newly completed foot bridge further down the river off Riverside Drive and Bridge Street. While on the walk, stop and read the plaque telling the tale of the suspension bridge, Ken Curran's history and ongoing involvement with the bridge today.
