[1] It is also referred to as the Devon Railroad Bridge by the state Department of Environmental Protection.

[3] The current bridge is the fourth railroad span in the same location, originally known as Naugatuck Junction.

The original bridge was the first railroad bridge over the Housatonic river, built by the New York and New Haven Railroad, and was a single-track wooden covered Howe truss, 1,293 feet (394 m) in length and a draw of 134 feet (41 m), built in 1848.

[5] Amtrak was awarded up to $246 million in Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funds in November 2023 for design of a replacement for the span.
