Llewelyn N. Edwards famous cribstone bridge at Bailey Island. The tablet at the bridge sums it up nicely: "Ths 1,150 foot bridge is an exceptional engineering solution to meet unusual conditions and is the only one of its type in the world. Open split Maine granite cribwork permits free flow of swift tidal currents, boat traffic, withstands saltwater exposure and ice floes. Completed in 1928. Engineer L. N. Edwards."
