Belfast Bridge Builders

Brick Engraving

The bridge that had been the original 1921 United States Route One highway bridge had been decaying and in need of removal or replacement for many years. After a long public process including a public referendum the bridge was rebuilt in 2006 thanks to the prescient foresight by dedicated volunteers, City of Belfast committees, and the people of Belfast and rededicated as Armistice Footbridge with grant fanfare in 2010.

The engraved "bricks" at either end of the Armistice Footbridge are part of the Belfast Harbor Walk and in the future will connect with the Passy Rail Trail.

The new and old bricks are installed and maintained by Our Town Belfast, the downtown Belfast "Main Street" organization.

An opportunity exist to become part of this effort and be recognized as well. Buy a commemorative brick paver for yourself, in honor or memory of a loved one, your company, or client and be forever apart of the bridge that spans Penobscot Bay and the Passagassawaukeag River.
