Calvin Coolidge Bridge
Connecticut River Bridge
The Calvin Coolidge Memorial Bridge is a significant crossing of the Connecticut River in Western Massachusetts, linking the towns of Northampton and Hadley. This five-span, single intersection Warren deck truss bridge stands as a testament to both engineering and history. The bridge, with a total length of 1,440.94 feet (439.2 meters), was completed in 1939 after the original structure was destroyed during the 1936 flood.Its distinctive granite-faced abutment pylons showcase Art Deco ornamentation, including carved eagles and incised lettering.
The bridge honors President Calvin Coolidge, a former mayor of Northampton and later the 30th President of the United States.
In 2001, the Massachusetts Highway Department widened the bridge from 3 lanes to 4 lanes, enhancing traffic flow and accessibility.
