Tariffville Road Bridge, Spanning Farmington River on Tariffville Road (Connecticut Route 315), Simsbury, Hartford County, CT

Significance: Tariffville Road Bridge is significant as a representative example of 19th-century truss engineering, one of few pre-1900 through-trusses remaining in Connecticut. Its pinned connections and ornamental railing are typical of the period. Designed and built by New Haven engineer J.E. Buddington, some of its members and its unusual floor system reflect the wide range of bridge building practices still current in the 1890s, before engineering became thoroughly standardized.
