[3] In 2009, the DOT estimated the dam carries approximately 10,300 vehicles per day.

[4] It has been claimed to be one of two dams in the country with a public road over top, but this is false.

[5][4] A prior, one lane wooden suspension bridge known as "Zoar Bridge" existed just south of the confluence of the Halfway River with the Housatonic, at what is now the Monroe/Newtown town line, about 3/4 mile upstream from the dam/bridge current location.
