The Bridge Street Bridge is a crossing for Route 140 over the Connecticut River, connecting the towns of Windsor Locks and East Windsor. The current bridge was completed in 1992.[1] The previous bridge at this location was a 7-span through Pratt truss built in 1921.[2] Before that there was a suspension bridge built in 1886.[2] Originally, there was a ferry secured to a mid-river pier.[3]
