Sandy River Bridge
Rebuilding the Sandy River Bridge
Rebuilding the Sandy River Bridge to connect the regional Whistle Stop Trail to downtown Farmington, Maine has been one of this region’s biggest opportunities. The bridge will be owned and managed by the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands as part of the Whistle Stop Trail. Through the collaboration of Federal, State, Town, and private resources, we can finally move toward the bridge’s construction. The next steps will be to secure any construction clearances and final engineering before bidding out the construction.
Foster Tech Students Engage With The Farmington Bridge
The High Peaks Alliance is actively fundraising to replace the Sandy River bridge to connect Whistle Stop Trail to the center of Farmington.
This video was filmed and produced by Foster Technology Digital Media Program students. We were fortunate to be able to share our preliminary bridge designs and the students used them to learn the CADD software and one student built a scale model. Watch to see the whole story.
