Sarah Mildred Long Bridge (Original Alignment) (Portsmouth, New Hampshire)

USA / Maine / Kittery / Portsmouth, New Hampshire
The Sarah Mildred Long Bridge is a lift bridge between Kittery, ME and Portsmouth, NH.

The original 1940's span got stuck in the 'up' position in August 2016 and the decision was made not to repair it. The bridge was demolished in 2017 and replaced by a new bridge to the north.

  • Would also carry all rail traffic to the Navy shipyard via the bridge's lower deck. I don't think the yard sees any trains though, and thus, neither does the bridge.
