In March 1892, the Topsham Land Co. received an easement from the Cabot Manufacturing Co. to land the bridge on the Brunswick side on land owned by the mill.

On May 19, 1892, the Brunswick Telegraph reported, "The iron work will be here this week and the work will be pushed along as fast as possible as Mr. Farrington [the supervisor] has got to go to Australia and supervise the erection of a bridge there."

Three houses were under construction in Topsham Heights, the name of the new neighborhood.
