EAST HADDAM — The East Haddam Delegation this week lauded the Department of Transportation’s planned addition of a pedestrian walkway to the East Haddam Swing Bridge when it performs renovations in 2022.
Legislators are excited for the recreational and everyday advantages it will bring to the local community, according to a press release. More than 100 years old, the East Haddam Bridge was once argued to be the longest swing bridge of its kind. It plays a vital connective role between Haddam and East Haddam, the statement said.
