The Reynolds Bridge in Thomaston, Connecticut is an open-spandrel concrete arch bridge carrying Waterbury Road (unsigned State Road 848) over the Naugatuck River. It was built in 1928 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]

It also spans the tracks of what was the New Haven Railroad, and is now the Naugatuck Railroad, which run along the river.

At the time of its construction, open-spandrel design was used for the longest concrete bridge crossings, and this was the longest designed by the Connecticut State Highway Department.[2]

As of 2004, it was one of six open-spandrel bridges in Connecticut.[2]:6? The Cornwall Bridge, built later over the Housatonic River, has a longer span.[2]:7
