Bridge No. 1860, also known as the Samson Occom Bridge, is a fieldstone arch bridge in Montville, Connecticut. It was constructed by the Connecticut State Highway Department in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration project, and is located on Mohegan tribal land in an area that was once a part of Fort Shantok State Park. The bridge carries traffic from Massapeag Side Road (Special Service Road 433) over the Shantok Brook, a tributary of the Thames River. It spans 12 feet (3.7 m) across the brook, and its arch rises about 6 feet (1.8 m) above the water. It carries 1,100 vehicles per day according to a 2011 Connecticut Department of Transportation report. Samson Occom Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
