The Glen Falls Bridge is a historic bridge that formerly carried Brunswick Avenue over the Moosup River in Plainfield, Connecticut. It is a single-span wrought iron lenticular pony truss bridge, manufacted by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company in 1886. It is 124 feet (38 m) long, and rests on 20th-century reinforced concrete abutments. When built, the road it was on was the main east-west route through the area; it was bypassed by the present alignment of Connecticut Route 14 in 1940. It is closed to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
