The Penobscot Narrows Bridge replaced the historic Waldo Hancock Bridge in 2006. The older bridge was demolished in 2013 leaving the modern cable-stayed bridge in its place. A unique feature to this bridge is the Penobscot Narrows Observatory, which is the tallest bridge observatory in the world and the first ever to be constructed in the U.S. (open from May 1st - October 31st)
