Mystic River Railroad Bridge, Railway swing bridge in Mystic, Connecticut, US.
The Mystic River Railroad Bridge carries two tracks of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor across the Mystic River between Groton and Stonington townships.
The current steel truss bridge, constructed in 1984, replaced an 1875 steel swing bridge, which had succeeded the original wooden drawbridge from 1819.
The bridge represents the evolution of rail transportation infrastructure along the Northeast Corridor, connecting communities through passenger rail services.
The bridge maintains 13 feet of vertical clearance when closed and opens regularly to accommodate maritime traffic along the Mystic River.
This structure stands as the easternmost movable bridge on the Amtrak-owned Northeast Corridor section within Connecticut.
