Washington Bridge History and Reconstruction Notes
The Washington Bridge over the Housatonic began in 1797 and finished in 1798, replacing ferries upriver. An 1806 ice gorge damaged the old structure, rebuilt in 1808 for eight thousand dollars raised by lottery. A new bridge is being built upstream to straighten the road and remove a sharp turn and steep grade.
