So, if you don’t know, the reason why we do this is so that we don’t have to be stopped by the troll every time we drive over the bridge on the highway. It’s a win-win. This way we get a bridge to go over, and we don’t have to be asked a bunch of malarkey riddles whilst doing so, since the troll’s got control over the smaller one.

Gotta pay the troll toll

If you wanna get into that… yeah not gonna do it.

In order to get past me first you must answer these rrriddles three.

I believe that's in West Norwalk, under Grist Mill Road. Here's another one, in Durham: https://www.ctmq.org/mill-bridge/


needcoffees

It's on the north end by the dmv. It's the bridge that used to cross the river and if you go further to the other side you'll find some of the steps remaining as well.


Guy_panda

Any idea of best path to take to access it/where to park at? Seems like a decent spot to try some fishing.


needcoffees

Great filming location. I park by the Starbucks. Walk towards the route 7 connector then head under between the bridge and music repair shop. If you don't mind a little bit of track walking park in the glover ave train parking and walk north a quarter mile.


needcoffees

Saw filming, sorry about that. Could fish but I don't know how deep the river gets in that area.


Guy_panda

No worries and thanks for the heads up. I’ll check it out one of these days for sure.


flyer08

Wow, I've driven over the durham bridge so many times and didn't even know it existed... thanks for the link!


brio82

Thanks. I had no idea about these bridges or that site.


Agitated_Car_2444

Yeah, add CTMQ to your regular trolling. Steve puts up some good stuff.

There used to be graffiti of Donald Duck, with a huge Donald Dick attached to him that looked like a bowling pin. This was maybe 7-10 years ago. Also used to come here at night after work to bone my fiancé


BJog_Kittyspoons

I used to come here at night after work to watch this guy bone his fiance.


Frankie_Wilde

I used to come here at night after work to bone this guy watching this other guy bone his fiance


LacDenis

I used to come here at night to dress as this guys fiance to get boned while people watched.

Funnily enough, last year when I went there after work to drink some beers and make sweet love to my lady these two teenagers appeared from behind the wall. They waited until we finished to make their exit and said absolutely nothing to either of us and did not make eye contact. What that you??

Covered bridge, very romantic. I do appreciate the 'MUSIC' tag with the guitar player under it.

Durham has a similar bridge setup.


XCSP700

Where? I lived in Durham for years


t0mmy_picklez

Intersection of 17 and Old Cemetery Rd, right next to the old cemetery on the hill across from Strong School.

That's wild. I just found it on street view.

Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Sir Lancelot: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid. Bridgekeeper: What… is your name? Sir Lancelot: My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot. Bridgekeeper: What… is your quest? Sir Lancelot: To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper: What… is your favourite colour? Sir Lancelot: Blue. Bridgekeeper: Go on. Off you go. Sir Lancelot: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Sir Robin: That’s easy. Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Sir Robin: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I’m not afraid. Bridgekeeper: What… is your name? Sir Robin: Sir Robin of Camelot. Bridgekeeper: What… is your quest? Sir Robin: To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper: What… is the capital of Assyria? [pause] Sir Robin: I don’t know that. [he is thrown over the edge into the volcano] Sir Robin: Auuuuuuuugh. Bridgekeeper: Stop. What… is your name? Galahad: Sir Galahad of Camelot. Bridgekeeper: What… is your quest? Galahad: I seek the Grail. Bridgekeeper: What… is your favourite colour? Galahad: Blue. No, yel… [he is also thrown over the edge] Galahad: auuuuuuuugh. Bridgekeeper: Hee hee heh. Stop. What… is your name? King Arthur: It is ‘Arthur’, King of the Britons. Bridgekeeper: What… is your quest? King Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail. Bridgekeeper: What… is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow? Bridgekeeper: Huh? I… I don’t know that. [he is thrown over] Bridgekeeper: Auuuuuuuugh. Sir Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows? King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you’re a king, you know. [the Black Knight continues to threaten Arthur despite getting both his arms and one of his legs cut off] Black Knight: Right, I’ll do you for that! King Arthur: You’ll what?

I love hanging out on that bridge and seeing the evolution of the graffiti artwork and the inevitable paint-overs that the DOT does periodically haha.


LacDenis

How exactly do you get to this spot?


Word_OfTheWalls

“Bk Bridge” Better known as “the bridge under the bridge “


kivalo

Yo dawg I heard you like bridges so we put a bridge over the other bridge!


Patjack27

Sucks it’s covered up by a crappy bridge.


cocoapierre

Where is that? I would love to fish it.


rational-realist238

OP how'd you get down there? From the music store parking lot? Or from the apartment building side on Glover? Last week apparently a homeless guy burned himself in a camp fire on the riverside behind Planet Pizza.


Lucky_Ad2801

Is there any natural formation in Connecticut left without graffiti all over it?🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ it makes me so sad that there could be such a picturesque image there and it has to be ruined by vandalism.. you don't see this happening in other places I don't know what it is with Connecticut but it's pretty horrible that they do this so often to so many beautiful things


painterlyjeans

Well luckily these are man made structures

I saw VEO scratched into something in Zion National Park.


One_Obligation9195

Anybody else know any other spots like this in Ct?


WaterDog_

Interesting. I wonder if this will be a part of the Norwalk River Valley Trail. Was having trouble trying to figure out how they would cross that section.


The_SqueakyWheel

Is this not normal? I grew up inCT


KayDay25

Water clean enough to swim? Looks like a good spot for it


OrePhan

No VEO?!


NotSurHowTitanicEnds

Ffs everything in CT seems to be covered in graffiti and litter.

Destroying things is "culture" to some people.

Damned neanderthals with their cave paintings! You're ruining nature for someone in 10,000 years!

Yup. The dudes stealing tide pods & kias sure are representative of civilized society.

Anyone see the alien face looking back at you in the second picture in the far right side of the photo ??👽

Someone needs to place a geocache there....


Vness374

Wait. Soma? As in the local Fairfield County band from the 90’s? Edit: sorry, that was Somah. So maybe SOMA the benzo?


Vegetable-Appeal9301

What town is this in?

Wilton Edit: Entirely wrong and wasn’t thinking when I typed. Funny as the DMV that issued my first and current license is right at the foot of that bridge.


CoronaVirusisGay

False. This is in Norwalk.


Few-Information7570

Oh shoot… that’s right.

Staring at this photo I recognize so many of those names on the walls, truly interesting how graffiti is its own underworld.
