Willimantic Footbridge, Steel footbridge in Willimantic, United States.
The Willimantic Footbridge extends 635 feet across the Willimantic River, connecting downtown commercial areas to residential neighborhoods through five steel truss spans.
Built in 1906 by the Owego Bridge Company for $13,000, the structure received National Register of Historic Places recognition in 1979.
The footbridge represents early 20th-century engineering solutions, featuring three different truss types and both steel trestle piers and granite rubblestone construction.
This pedestrian crossing provides year-round access over the Willimantic River, railroad tracks, and Riverside Drive, linking Main Street to southern residential sections.
The structure stands as the sole footbridge in New England that spans both a river and railroad tracks within its length.
