Tripping on Travel: Winter River Walk 2, Windham County, CT

We close our visit to this river walk with a closer look and experience regarding the pedestrian bridge over the Quinebaug River, at the same location. This bridge is not the only pedestrian bridge over the river in that area. But in contrast to the other bridge, this one is not only shared by both pedestrians and bicyclists, it's used by vehicles serving the local sewerage disposal plant (there is no odor) that is located just across the river. Pedestrians and cyclists, however, all have the right-of-way and the drivers will wait for them before driving those vehicles across the bridge. Because this is basically an urban location, the sound of traffic on Kennedy Dr is quite apparent, and I use background music to enhance the experience.

The 'Blaze Your Path' website explains that during the 20th century, the Quinebaug River faced environmental challenges. This included urbanization, industrial pollution, and flooding. In the 1970s, efforts to restore and protect the river began. The 45 mile Quinebaug River Water Trail was established as one of the conservation efforts. There are several access points, including this one in Putnam, CT.
