Pequonnock River Railroad Bridge
Pequonnock River Railroad Bridge, Railroad bascule bridge on Pequonnock River, Bridgeport, United States.
The Pequonnock River Railroad Bridge features twin parallel lift spans that facilitate both marine traffic and rail transportation across the waterway.
The bridge underwent complete reconstruction between 1993 and 1998, replacing the original 1902 structure while maintaining continuous rail operations.
The bridge forms part of the Northeast Corridor, connecting communities along the eastern seaboard through Amtrak and Metro-North passenger services.
The structure accommodates freight trains from Providence & Worcester Railroad alongside regular passenger services from Amtrak and Metro-North Railroad.
The bridge construction occurred in three phases to maintain both marine and rail traffic, with the south span completed before the north span.
