It is a single span Warren through truss bridge, spanning the Coginchaug River near the Starr Mill complex on the west bank of the river.

Built in 1927 by the Berlin Construction Company, it is one of a shrinking number of period metal truss bridges in the state.

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

The Starr Mill Road Bridge is located in western Middletown, spanning the Coginchaug River just below (east of) the Starr Mill dam.

It is accessible via Middlefield Road (Connecticut Route 157) on the south, and Beverly Heights, the mill access road, on the north.
