Summary
Significance: Windham Road Bridge is significant as a large and well-preserved example of stone-arch construction, a vernacular technique that was commonly used for important crossings, particularly ones below mill dams that might present a hazard during floods. The bridge was built in 1857 in connection with the mill and dam of the Willimantic Linen Company, an enterprise that eventually became the town's largest employer.
