Old Route 8 Bridge
Description
Through-truss on by-passed road. Two dams downriver necessitated relocation of Route 8. Goodwin or Hogback Dam, 1955, and Colebrook River Dam, 1969. As a result, the village of Colebrook River (CT) is now submerged. Road and bridge provide access for fishermen; end of road is underwater.Facts
