Est. 1948 · Regional Transportation Link · Penobscot River Crossing · Chamber of Commerce Project

Brownville Road, located on Route 11 outside Millinocket, Maine, has long served as a critical transportation corridor connecting Brownville and surrounding communities to Millinocket. Prior to bridge construction, access to Millinocket from Brownville and beyond was extremely limited; the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad train was the primary transportation option for most travelers.

The Green Bridge, a steel structure spanning the West Branch of the Penobscot River, was constructed between the 1920s and completed in 1948. The Millinocket Chamber of Commerce was instrumental in the project from its inception through completion. The bridge remains a significant historical landmark in the region, having facilitated settlement patterns and regional commerce for nearly 80 years.
