Prevention through design (PtD), also called safety by design usually in Europe, is the concept of applying methods to minimize occupational hazards early in the design process, with an emphasis on optimizing employee health and safety throughout the life cycle of materials and processes. [1]
The older span is a Whipple truss design. The newer spans use a modified Warren truss design (vertical truss members are added to the traditional form of a Warren truss). The bridge was refurbished in 2006 to be part of the new Canalside Rail Trail. [3] [4] However, though the bridge can now be used, the refurbishing is not complete as of July ...

The New Haven abandoned the Shelburne Falls Extension between South Deerfield and the connection with the former Troy and Greenfield Railroad, now the Fitchburg main line, in 1923. The B&M obtained trackage rights over the branch in 1925, and these rights became more important after a flood in 1936 destroyed the B&M's bridge over the ...
Interstates 90 and 29 were created in the mid-20th century as part of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, a national push to promote interstate travel.Simultaneously, the need for rest areas at regularly-spaced intervals along the highways was identified, which would not only improve travellers' experiences by meeting their basic needs but also improving safety by promoting driving breaks.
Inherent safety has been recognised as a desirable principle by a number of national authorities, including the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission [10] and the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE). In assessing COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations) sites the HSE states “Major accident hazards should be avoided or reduced at ...
Before the bridge was constructed, a ferry known as "Bissel's Ferry" operated approximately a quarter-mile upriver from this site. In 1878, the ferry was replaced by an earlier bridge, known as the Upper or 'Red' Suspension Bridge—distinguishing it from the "Lower Suspension Bridge," at the current downriver site of the Turners Falls Road Bridge—which was 563 feet long.
