Yes, there used to be a covered bridge between Enfield and Suffield. (Enfield Historical Society)
ENFIELD, CT Hard to picture this nowadays, but for nearly a century, there was a covered bridge spanning the Connecticut River from Enfield to Suffield, at the bottom of Bridge Lane (hence its name). This postcard from the Enfield Historical Society shows the wooden structure sometime in the 1800s; the story of the bridge and its spectacular demise is amazing.
Pages 14 and 15 of a great book of photographs from the 1880s through 1950s, entitled Images of America: Enfield Connecticut, details the construction of the original uncovered bridge in 1808, its collapse in 1821, and completion of the replacement span, depicted above, in 1832.
