Bulkeley Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Hartford, United States
The Bulkeley Bridge spans across the Connecticut River with nine stone arches connecting Hartford to East Hartford over a distance of several hundred meters.
The structure replaced the Hartford Toll Bridge which burned down in 1895, leading to the construction of this stone arch bridge completed in 1908.
The bridge bears the name of Morgan Bulkeley, a Connecticut governor who influenced its development and secured its position as a central transportation route.
The bridge carries Interstate 84, US Route 6, and US Route 44, supporting over 142,500 vehicles daily as a primary crossing point between Hartford and East Hartford.
The structure contains more than 100,000 cubic yards of grey and pink granite, making it the largest stone arch bridge constructed in New England.
