Moses Wheeler Bridge, Road bridge between Stratford and Milford, Connecticut, United States
The Moses Wheeler Bridge extends for 3,200 feet across the Housatonic River, featuring three lanes in each direction with full-width shoulders for traffic flow.
The original structure opened in 1958 as part of the Connecticut Turnpike project, marking a major development in regional transportation infrastructure.
The bridge carries the name of Moses Wheeler, a colonial-era shipwright who operated a ferry service across the Housatonic River during the 1600s.
The bridge accommodates 135,000 vehicles daily on Interstate 95, connecting the communities of Stratford and Milford with 12-foot-wide traffic lanes.
A comprehensive reconstruction project completed in 2016 incorporated modern engineering standards while maintaining the original traffic patterns during construction phases.
