PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — The dismantling of the Memorial Bridge that connected New Hampshire to Maine is getting some attention from a Travel Channel television show.
A crew from the Travel Channel was filming some of the work as the nearly 90-year-old bridge is being taken apart to make way for a new one.
The Portsmouth Herald reports Don Wildman, host of the show “Off Limits,” was even hoisted to the top of the south lift span tower to watch as welders started to prepare to remove 450-ton counterweights from the tower.
The “Off Limits” crew travels across the country, visiting places “most of us take for granted but are typically off limits to the average, everyday citizen,” said crew member Ed Wellington.
The show is expected to air sometime this summer.
