The Reynolds Bridge in Thomaston, Connecticut is an open-spandrel concrete arch bridge carrying Waterbury Road (unsigned State Road 848) over the Naugatuck River. Built in 1928, it is one of a small number of surviving open-spandrel bridges in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]

Description and history

The Reynolds Bridge is located roughly midway between Waterbury and the town center of Thomaston, just east of Connecticut Route 8's Exit 38. It is oriented northwest-southeast, and spans the Naugatuck River, the active railroad of the Naugatuck Railroad, which run along the river's east bank, and a former right-of-way of a streetcar line which ran along the river's west bank. The bridge is a three-arch open spandrel concrete structure, with four concrete beam approach spans on either side. The main span is {{convert|169|ft|m}} long, while the secondary arches are each {{convert|97|ft|m}}; the brige has a total length of {{convert|487|ft|m}}. The arches are joined by crossing struts, and vertical columns rise from the arch to support the road deck. The deck has a width of {{convert|42|ft|m}}, with the sidewalks cantilevered outside the supporting arches.[3]

At the time of its construction in 1928, the state used open-spandrel design was used for the longest concrete bridge crossings, and this was the longest designed by the Connecticut State Highway Department up to that time.[2] The Cornwall Bridge, built a few years later over the Housatonic River, has a longer span.[2]{{rp|7}} At the time of its National Register listing in 2004, it was one of six open-spandrel bridges in the state.[2]{{rp|6?}}
