Mianus River Bridge, Steel bridge on Interstate 95 in Cos Cob, United States.
The Mianus River Bridge spans 100 feet across the waterway, connecting the communities of Cos Cob and Riverside in Connecticut along Interstate 95.
In 1983, a section of the original 1958 bridge collapsed into the river, leading to three fatalities and prompting nationwide discussions about infrastructure maintenance.
The bridge received its current name, Michael L. Morano Bridge, in recognition of the state senator who represented Greenwich and supported transportation improvements.
The structure carries over 90,000 vehicles daily across the Mianus River, serving as a vital connection point along the Connecticut Turnpike transportation corridor.
The replacement bridge incorporates advanced engineering features that eliminated the problematic pin-and-hanger assemblies responsible for the previous structure's failure.
