DescriptionThe stone arches of the granite Bulkeley Bridge span the Connecticut River. Part of the Hartford skyline is in the left background. Highway signs at the far end of the bridge read: "Ann - High / Sigourney Streets" "Main St. / to / 84 / WEST / 44" "91 NORTH / Windsor / Springfield". Electric lights line the bridge. The trees in the foreground are on the East Hartford shore.
NotesSubject Note: Based on the highway signs, it appears that Route 84 West from Hartford was not complete when this photograph was taken; sign reads "To West 84" and seems to indicate that Route 44 West is still the main east-west route.Status
