History

The Waterloo Bridge replaced an earlier structure. Concord bridge builder Dutton Woods was paid $473.65 for “building bridge” in this location in 1860. Due to its location near a busy train station, windows were cut into the bridge in 1913 so that travelers could look out for oncoming trains. The Waterloo Bridge was repaired by the state in 1967 for $16,300 and again in 1987 for $3,000. The Waterloo Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
