The Derby–Shelton Bridge is a road crossing over the Housatonic River in the U.S. state of Connecticut, connecting the cities of Derby and Shelton.

Prior to that, an even older wooden covered bridge (built in 1857) was at this site.

[5] SR 712 is the primary crossing of the Housatonic River in the Naugatuck Valley and the route presently includes wide shoulders.

[6] Prior to the opening of the Commodore Hull Bridge in 1951, SR 712 was part of the former alignment of Route 8 between Shelton and Derby.

The primary goal of the project is to enable improve cyclist and pedestrian access between the Derby Greenway and Shelton's Veteran's Park.
