Notes
  • Significance: The South Norwalk Railroad Bridge is significant as a large and well-preserved example of 19th-century railroad bridge engineering, one of fewer than a half-dozen pin-connected railroad trusses remaining in the state. It is also significant because it was fabricated by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, Connecticut's only major 19th-century bridge manufacturer. It was built as part of an important episode in the state's transportation history, the reconstruction of the New Haven Railroad's New York-to-New Haven main line as a four-track, grade-separated right-of-way.
