Significance: The single-span Jordan Pond Road Bridge carries the Jordan Pond Road, a town motor road, over the carriage road link between the Rockefeller estate and the Day Mountain loop. The carriage road passes through the area in a cut, hiding views of houses on the outskirts of Seal Harbor. The bridge allows the town road to cross on a separate level preserving the visual separation and providing more safety than a grade crossing.
