Housatonic River Railroad Bridge
Housatonic River Railroad Bridge, Railway bridge across Housatonic River, Connecticut.
The steel bridge extends 1,072 feet across the Housatonic River, featuring a Warren through truss span and stone block piers at its foundation points.
The American Bridge Company completed this structure in 1906 as the fourth railroad crossing at Naugatuck Junction, replacing three previous bridges from 1848, 1872, and 1884.
The bridge earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 for its engineering importance and role in Connecticut's transportation development.
The structure carries Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line and Amtrak's Northeast Corridor services, connecting essential railway routes through Connecticut.
The bridge incorporates a Scherzer Rolling Lift Bascule design with a 110-foot draw span, enabling water vessels to pass beneath its movable section.
