The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge is an example of 19th century metal-truss bridge construction. The bridge was retained as a pedestrian & bicycle way and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. During spring and summer the bridge is lined with beautiful flower boxes and hanging flower baskets - great photo opportunity and close to walking path down Iron Horse Boulevard.
