Amtrak Old Saybrook – Old Lyme Bridge
Amtrak Old Saybrook – Old Lyme Bridge, Railway bridge in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, US
The metal bridge spans 1,659 feet across the Connecticut River, featuring two railway tracks and overhead electrical lines for train operations.
Built in 1907 by the Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge Company of Chicago, the structure served the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad transportation needs.
The bridge represents early twentieth-century engineering methods with its metal rivet-connected Warren pony truss design and movable single leaf bascule system.
The structure carries 58 daily trains, including Amtrak's Northeast Regional, Acela services, Shore Line East commuter trains, and Providence and Worcester Railroad freight operations.
The bridge operates at 45 miles per hour with an 18-foot clearance, but its replacement in 2024 will increase speed to 70 mph with 24-foot clearance.
