Rapallo Viaduct, Railway bridge in East Hampton, Connecticut, United States.
The Rapallo Viaduct extends across Flat Brook, featuring engineering elements from the late 19th century railroad construction methods in New England.
Built in 1873 by engineer Edward W. Serrell, the viaduct facilitated train connections between Boston and New York City through the New Haven railroad line.
The structure received its name from Charles A. Rapallo, a railroad director who influenced transportation development in Connecticut during the industrial era.
The viaduct, buried under sand and cinders since 1913, now supports the Air Line Trail while preserving the original wrought iron structure beneath.
During construction, initial plans for double tracks were modified to single track specifications due to structural calculations by engineer Serrell.
