Notes
  • Significance: Singing Bridge, State Bridge Number 00349, has been determined eligible for listing to the National Register of Historic Places by the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Singing Bridge is significant for its association with the growth of the Connecticut state government's responsibility for bridge construction and design, and was the largest project in a phase of smaller bridge reconstructions undertaken along U.S. Route 1 during the 1920s. Singing Bridge is significant as a well-preserved example of an early-twentieth-century Pratt steel truss highway bridge, and as an example of a bridge designed as a response to the increasing motor vehicle weights of the 1920s.
