The Cornwall Bridge extends 674 feet across the Housatonic River with six concrete arches and two lanes for vehicles traveling on US Route 7 and Connecticut Route 4.
Construction of the Cornwall Bridge by C.W. Blakeslee and Sons in 1930 marked a transition from the previous wooden covered bridge at this location.
