Lover's Leap Bridge shrouded in an eerie fog. A brief history of the bridge...................
The Lover's Leap Bridge is a wrought-iron truss bridge over the Housatonic River located in Lovers Leap State Park in New Milford, Connecticut. It is a single span, 173 feet in length. The bridge was built in 1895 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, and was one of the last bridges manufactured by the company. Prior to 1977, the bridge was used by both vehicles and pedestrians but is now closed to vehicular traffic after a newer crossing just north of the bridge was constructed.The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
