Glen Falls Bridge, Historic truss bridge in Plainfield, Connecticut
The Glen Falls Bridge spans 124 feet across the Moosup River with a road deck elevated 10 feet above the water and 18-foot-wide travel surface.
Built in 1886 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, this wrought iron lenticular truss bridge served as a major transportation route until its closure in 1989.
The bridge exists near a former woolen mill complex, representing the industrial development and transportation networks of nineteenth-century Connecticut.
The structure remains closed to all traffic, with alternative routes available via the current alignment of Connecticut Route 14.
This bridge stands as one of fifteen remaining lenticular truss bridges in Connecticut, receiving National Register recognition in 1999.
