Comstock's Bridge, also known as the Comstock Covered Bridge, is a covered bridge located in East Hampton, Connecticut. The bridge was built in 1840 to span the Salmon River, and is one of only three historical covered bridges in the state. The main span is a Howe truss, 80 feet (24 m) long, with a roadbed 12 feet (3.7 m) wide. A secondary span, 30 feet (9.1 m) in length, connects the bridge to the eastern shore. The bridge underwent major restoration work in the 1930s after a truck crashed through the floor; it is now closed to traffic, and is accessible from a small public park.^[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 1, 1976.^[1]
