Historic Cribari Bridge Scheduled to Open Today at 3:00 PM; Expect Minor Delays
Westport’s William F. Cribari Memorial Bridge, carrying Bridge Street over the Saugatuck River, is scheduled to open today at 3:00 PM for boat traffic. The bridge is one of the oldest operational swing bridges in the Country, and sometimes opens several times each week during the summer months. Operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, the Bridge opening requires Bridge Street to be closed by Westport Police officers while DoT personnel operate the small engine on the bridge’s Western access - which rotates the bridge on a circular track beneath the deck. Although 137 years old, the bridge opening usually takes less than fifteen minutes.
