Androscoggin Swinging Bridge is a historic pedestrian bridge that connects the towns of Brunswick and Topsham in Maine. Originally designed and built in 1892 by the renowned Roebling Co., this wire rope suspension bridge has played a significant role in the economic and cultural development of the area. Through the efforts of Save Our Swinging Bridge.Org, a non-profit organization formed in 2008, the bridge was rehabilitated in 2006 and continues to serve as one of the few remaining and active pedestrian suspension bridges in the region.
Spanning the Androscoggin River, the Androscoggin Swinging Bridge stands as a testament to the dedication of volunteers, donors, and businesses who raised funds for its restoration. After seven months of rehabilitation work, the bridge reopened to pedestrian traffic in December 2006. With its grand reopening celebrated in September 2007, the bridge remains a cherished landmark, connecting communities and preserving a piece of local history.
