The Arrigoni Bridge, carrying Route 66 and Route 17 across the Connecticut River, connects Middletown and Portland. The steel through arch bridge was the longest of its kind when it opened in 1938.
In the 1960s, state long-range freeway plans called for a new bridge at Middletown carrying a Route 66 freeway. However, these plans were canceled, and the Arrigoni remains an important (though overworked) transportation link in central Connecticut.
