List of bridges of the Merritt Parkway

This is a list of bridges of the Merritt Parkway, which is located in Fairfield County, Connecticut.

The 69 original bridges and three original culverts were designed by George L. Dunkelberger. Each bridge has a unique design that represents various 1930s architectural styles, such as Art Deco, Art Moderne, French Renaissance, Gothic, Neoclassicism, and Rustic. 23 of the bridges have been reconstructed in recent years, two of the original bridges were demolished in 1979, and one bridge was destroyed during the Great Flood of 1955. The presence of these artistic bridges is one of the reasons that the Merritt Parkway has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and documented by the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER).

Below is a list of the 42 bridges spanning the Merritt Parkway and another list of the 39 bridges carrying the Merritt Parkway. The lists are arranged from south to north.
