Context

At plantation meetings, 1801-1806, one hundred dollars was raised annually for roads (man's labor, one dollar per day; and ox labor fifty cents). fifty dollars was also raised for bridges. At the annual meeting in 1807, it was voted that a new bridge be built across Dennys River Fall. Theodore Lincoln agreed to build it for thirty days' work. This bridge was raised and rebuilt in 1879 at the cost of $455.21. A modern cement bridge has been in place to carry the Route 86 continuation of King Street since the twentieth century.
