WayfarrowComstock's Bridge
Covered bridge · Lower Connecticut River Valley County, Connecticut
Comstock's Bridge is a covered bridge in Lower Connecticut River Valley County, Connecticut. Connecticut has 9 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow.
It was built in 1873, in the late 19th century; it crosses Salmon River.
Status check, 2026-11: An 1840 bridge was entirely replaced in 1873 by an 80-ft Howe truss main span with a 30-ft approach span; it is now a footbridge. I left the length null because sources give 80 ft (main span) or 110 ft (overall). Comstock's Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 41.5531° N, 72.4492° W.
