The Hampton Bridge is a bridge that spans the Hampton River near Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. Today, this bridge stands constructed with steel and concrete. Initially it was constructed of wood by Wallace D. Lovell and referred to as the The Mile Long Wooden Bridge. For a time in the early 1900’s, Hampton Bridge earned the title of longest bridge in the USA. The completion of the bridge took almost a year and according to the Exeter Newsletter of July 5, 1901, was a great undertaking. Long hours of manpower went into moving materials and building it. The bridge measured 4,740 feet in length and 30 feet in width. It was supported by 3,865 wooden piles, driven deep into the bottom of the river. Moving the materials used to build the bridge presented a great challenge. A tugboat named the “H.A. Mathes” towed rafts full of lumber to the bridge site from Portsmouth. “Other materials were floated downstream to the bridge from the railroad station at Hampton Falls.”
