Pleasure Beach Bridge
The Pleasure Beach Bridge is a movable Warren through-truss bridge in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Completed in 1927, it functioned as a toll bridge until the Great Depression, when it was transferred to the city of Bridgeport. Its service life came to an end after it was badly damaged by fire in 1996, cutting off access to Pleasure Beach. In the decade following the fire, several bonds to fund a new bridge were proposed, but ultimately fell through. Pleasure Beach has become the subject of debate, whether it will become an undisturbed protected salt match or be revitalized. An alternate method of access via water taxi service, first made possible by a grant in 2009, was not realized until 2013.

Pleasure Beach Bridge is a riveted Warren through-truss,〔 consisting of longitudinal members joined only by angled cross-members, forming alternately inverted equilateral triangle-shaped spaces along the length.〔 The bridge is supported by timber pilings. The swing span is made of two separate Warren through-trusses that pivots on concrete pier.〔 The operator's house is located on the mainland approach.〔 The bridge spans a length of , by wide, and was rated with an eight-ton limit. Its wooden construction resulted in the timbers creaking and shifting under the weight of passing cars.〔
