Notes
  • Significance: The bridges of the Merritt Parkway were predominately inspired by the Art Deco and Art Moderne architectural styles of the 1930s. Experimental forming techniques were employed to create the ornamental characteristics of the bridges. This, combined with the philosophy of incorporating architecture into bridge design and the individuality of each structure, makes them distinctive.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-54
  • Survey number: HAER CT-106
  • Building/structure dates: 1940 Initial Construction
