Comstock's Bridge, Covered bridge in Middlesex County, US
The wooden Comstock's Bridge stretches across the Coginchaug River with a gabled roof and vertical board siding measuring 80 feet in length.
Built in 1873, this covered bridge replaced an earlier structure from 1840 and remains one of three historical covered bridges in Connecticut.
The bridge bears the name of Franklin G. Comstock, the first postmaster of East Hampton, reflecting the early development of the local community.
The bridge contains gates at both ends and allows only pedestrian access, with a small parking area available near the entrance.
The structure incorporates materials recycled from old buildings during its 1930s restoration by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
