Merritt Parkway, Bridge No. 744, Spanning Merritt Parkway at Route 59, Fairfield, Fairfield County, CT

Significance: This bridge is part of the Merritt Parkway, a landscaped limited-access highway designed and built in the 1930s. The parkway was regarded as a model in its day, largely because of the architectural qualities of its more than 60 bridges. Its rigid-frame reinforced-concrete construction and extensive Art Deco detailing make this span a representative Merritt Parkway bridge.
