Obviously this bridge, by virtue of its name, connects the towns of Old Saybrook and Old Lyme, CT. It can be seen from the Raymond E. Baldwin Bridge which carries traffic north and southbound over I-95 and is located approx.. 1/2″ mile north of the train bridge. Both bridges cross over the Connecticut River before it reaches Long Island Sound very soon thereafter.
The bridge was originally constructed in 1907 to serve the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad line. It has seen a number of rehabilitation’s since that time. The center span rises to allow boat passage. Currently this bridge carries Amtrak passenger trains.
