Built in 1918 the Arrawanna Bridge is one of the Connecticut's oldest bridges and is an early example of an open-spandrel concrete arch bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
Once part of a major thoroughfare, in 1974 Berlin Street was bypassed to the west and the bridge was closed. By 2003, the bridge was deteriorating in place, with shrubs growing in the roadway.
Its quite a sight to see!
