From the Livonia Gazette, 16 August 1929

Removal of Old Bridge at Foot of Hemlock Lake

Action has been taken to eliminate the bridge in the town of Livonia at the foot of Hemlock lake, which is an old iron structure of fifty-foot span which would cost from $5,000 to $7,000 to replace. The plan is to secure right of way from the City of Rochester for the relocation of the road to permit doing away with the old bridge. It is estimated that the cost of the change will approximate $1,000.

The wrought iron bridge at Glenville NY, one mile south of Hemlock NY where the Canadice Outlet crosses Route 15A. The bridge was erected in 1890, photographed in 1906 by John W. Beam. Hemlock Lake can just be seen through the trees on the right.
