Berkley–Dighton Bridge

The concrete arch bridge spans 350 feet across the Taunton River with four spans, featuring two center sections of 92 feet each.

Built in 2015, this structure replaced the original 1896 swing-span bridge that served as a vital connection between Berkley and Dighton communities.

The bridge design incorporates cast-in-place concrete walls that mirror traditional stone masonry patterns, maintaining regional architectural elements.

The 32-foot-wide structure includes two traffic lanes and a sidewalk, accommodating approximately 6,200 vehicles daily between the communities.

The bridge maintains a 12-foot clearance above water level, allowing vessels to pass underneath while connecting Center Street and Elm Street.
