East Haddam Bridge

The East Haddam Bridge spans 1,030 feet across the Connecticut River, connecting the communities of East Haddam and Haddam with its steel truss construction.

Built in 1913 to replace the previous ferry service, this bridge represented a significant advancement in transportation infrastructure for the Connecticut River Valley region.

The bridge has become a central element in local celebrations and gatherings, serving as a meeting point for community events throughout the seasons.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation maintains regular inspection schedules and implements specific weight restrictions to ensure the safety of all bridge users.

The bridge features a mechanical pivot system that allows the entire structure to rotate horizontally, creating a clear passage for boats on the Connecticut River.
