There are three bridges carrying Hopyard Road (part of unsigned State Road 434) over several brooks within Devil's Hopyard State Park in the U.S. state of Connecticut. The main route of SSR 434 follows the Eightmile River and the bridges cross over its minor tributaries. All three bridges are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (as Bridge No. 1603, Bridge No. 1604, and Bridge No. 1605, corresponding to their structure numbers in the National Bridge Inventory). The three bridges are essentially identical masonry arch bridges, long, with a roadbed wide, and were built using Depression-era federal jobs money. They are good examples of vernacular rustic park architecture. Read more on Wikipedia
