Suffield and Thompsonville Bridge, Truss bridge in Suffield, United States.

The Suffield and Thompsonville Bridge extended 1,060 feet across the Connecticut River with five iron spans supported by four stone piers.

The Berlin Iron Bridge Company completed construction of the bridge in January 1893, marking a significant advancement in regional transportation infrastructure.

The bridge operated on a toll system, requiring three cents for pedestrians and twelve cents for single horse-drawn teams to cross.

Four original stone piers remain visible in the Connecticut River, following the removal of the iron structure after its closure in 1971.

Nathan Hemenway earned recognition as the first toll collector of this crossing point between Burbank Avenue in Suffield and Main Street in Thompsonville.

Location: Connecticut

Official opening: February 20, 1893
