Riverside Avenue Bridge, Cast iron bridge in Riverside, Greenwich, Connecticut, United States
The Riverside Avenue Bridge spans over the New Haven Line railroad tracks, connecting both sides of the community with its distinctive cast iron structure.
Originally constructed in 1871 as part of a larger span across the Housatonic River, the bridge was relocated to its current location in Riverside during 1895.
The bridge represents a milestone in American infrastructure development, demonstrating the engineering capabilities and architectural styles of the nineteenth century.
Following rehabilitation in 1988, the bridge received a new concrete deck within its original structure, ensuring continued safety for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
The structure stands as Connecticut's only cast iron bridge and remains one of the few operational cast iron bridges in the United States.
