点评:Driving back from Brattleboro, VT to Keene, NH, I came into Ashuelot and rounding a bend in the road, this bridge nearly hits you in the face. No way you can miss it!!
It's a beautiful old bridge, crossing the Ashuelot River, with covered sidewalks on either side. Unfortunately, when I was there, the sidewalks were closed off.
There's no great place to pull off right at the bridge site, but just a few dozen yards up Rt. 10 there is a gravel pull off. You can get some nice pictures from there, as well as hike back to the bridge. Only be careful: There is no sidewalk, the shoulder is extremely narrow, and the locals drive by like a bat out of hell.
Sadly, on this trip, much of New England is in a drought period, so the rivers and streams that normally are filled with rushing waters are now very low and somewhat sluggish. i was happy to see that the river for the bridge did have a pretty decent flow.

这是一座美丽的古老桥梁,横跨阿什洛特河,两边都有带顶棚的人行道。可惜的是,我去的时候,人行道被封闭了。
桥边没有合适的停车点,但沿着10号公路往上走几十码,有一个碎石路的停车点。你可以在那里拍到一些漂亮的照片,也可以徒步回到桥上。但要小心:桥上没有人行道,路肩非常狭窄,当地人开车经过时就像疯了一样。
可惜的是,这次旅行,新英格兰大部分地区正处于干旱期,通常水流湍急的河流和溪流现在水位很低,水流有些迟缓。我很高兴看到桥边的河流水流确实相当顺畅。
