Igor I. Sikorsky Memorial Bridge, Road bridge over Housatonic River in Connecticut, United States
The Igor I. Sikorsky Memorial Bridge carries six traffic lanes of the Merritt Parkway between Stratford and Milford across the Housatonic River.
The first bridge at this location opened in 1940, marking the completion of the Merritt Parkway and the beginning of the Wilbur Cross Parkway.
The bridge honors Igor Sikorsky, whose helicopter manufacturing facility operates along the western riverfront near the bridge entrance.
The structure includes full left and right shoulders, a pedestrian sidewalk, decorative wrought-iron railing, and concrete fenders protecting the bridge piers.
The construction of the current bridge required $87 million and took longer than expected due to various challenges, including a crane accident in 2004.
