The original steel swing span Salem Beverly bridge was built in 1897, and both approaches were reconstructed in 1916. Local talk of building a new, fixed span bridge began in the late 1980's or before. On Aug. 31 of 1996, a new steel and concrete fixed-span bridge was finally opened for travel between Salem and Beverly. Its new name is Veterans Memorial Bridge
