Enfield–Suffield Veterans Bridge

The Enfield-Suffield Veterans Bridge crosses the Connecticut River using steel plate girders to support Route 190 traffic between the two towns. The structure also provides connections to nearby trails and major roadways that serve the broader region.

The bridge opened in 1966 as a replacement for the older Thompsonville Bridge, which was demolished due to safety concerns. This renewal improved transportation infrastructure between the two communities.

The bridge carries a name honoring military veterans from both towns, reflecting how these communities value their service members. You'll see this recognition woven into the local identity each time you cross.

The crossing provides access to local trails and connects with major roadways including Interstate 91 and US Route 5. It helps to check traffic conditions before your visit, especially during rush hours.

A section of Route 190 carries the Corporal Stephen R. Bixler Memorial Highway designation, honoring a local soldier who died in Iraq. This tribute connects the everyday experience of crossing with a personal story from the community.
