Description
The old and historic Waldo Hancock Bridge and newer Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory side-by-side. The Waldo Hancock Bridge is currently being dismantled. The Penobscot Narrows Bridge houses an observatory. A one minute ride on the fastest elevator in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont will take you to the top of the tallest public bridge-observatory in the world. The others are in China, Slovakia and Thailand. Opened in May 2007, the observatory is already proving to be a popular attraction. The beauty of the Penobscot River and surrounding countryside is immediately apparent as the elevator door slides open to a dizzying view from 420 feet up. Ascend two more levels up to find 360 degrees views, complete with identification panels showing you how to locate nearby mountains, lakes and towns.
