9 Bridges in Connecticut That You Shouldn't Miss

June 4, 2021 Hector Krause

Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

We stopped on our way to lunch, nice little bridge with lots of flower boxes and hanging plants. Little parking area-good for a picnic or a place to read.

Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge

Reviewed By keithgH1078QT - Cheshire, United States

Been living in New Haven County for majority of my life (45+) and grew up on Interstate 95. From holidays to vacations and many shopping events, crossing the the river has always been a pain. It was so bad that I originally was going to move to the Branford area, but dealing with the bridge was not worth it. Finally the state upgraded the bridge and it's great. The traffic is mlm uch less and it is an engineering marvel, especially at night.
