Moseley, this arched 96-foot span bridge preceded by years the standard use of wrought iron for bridges. For the first time in the United States, Moseley incorporated the use of riveted wrought-iron plates for the triangular-shaped top chord.</p> <p>The bridge was originally located near Lawrence, Massachusetts where it served a thriving industrial area. Over the years it fell into disrepair and eventually was slated for demolition. In 1989, the bridge was taken down and reconstructed on the campus of Merrimack College in North Andover. Civil engineering students restored the structure which now spans the school's reflecting pond.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-landmark-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field__label">Tags</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/moseley" hreflang="en">Moseley</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/wrought-iron" hreflang="en"> Wrought Iron</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/arch" hreflang="en"> Arch</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/bridge" hreflang="en"> Bridge</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/merrimak" hreflang="en"> Merrimak</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/restoration" hreflang="en"> Restoration</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/restored" hreflang="en"> Restored</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/restored" hreflang="en"> Restored</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-comment field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Designed and patented in 1857 by Thomas Moseley, the Wrought Iron Arch Bridge incorporated for the first time in the United States the use of riveted wrought iron plates for the bridge&#039;s triangular-shaped top chord.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-credit field--type-string-long field--label-inline"> <div class="field__label">Image Credit</div> <div class="field__item">Courtesy Wikicommons/Elizabeth Thomsen (CC BY-SA 3.0)</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-inline"> <div class="field__label">Image Caption</div> <div class="field__item">Moseley Arch, Merrimack College, North Andover, Massachusetts</div> </div> Wed, 25 Jul 2012 07:39:46 +0000 Anonymous 80308 at https://www.inventionandtech.com
