The Pequabuck Bridge, which currently carries a paved hike and bike trail across the Pequabuck River in Farmington, Connecticut, was built in 1833. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.^[1] The bridge was previously known as Meadow Road Bridge and used to carry vehicular traffic on Meadow Road across the river. Meadow Road now uses a more modern bridge with the original bridge now used exclusively for bicycle and pedestrian traffic. It is notable as a rare example of a town-funded stone bridge, given the cost of building in stone at the time. The town decided on stone for construction of this bridge because it was at the time a vital and heavily-used crossing.^[2]
