Swing Bridge Updates - The Terris

Connecticut DOT has begun a long overdue restoration of the 110 year old East Haddam Swing Bridge. We have worked with DOT to minimize the impact to our patrons, but there may be traffic delays.

Please allow extra time when coming to the theatre, especially for matinees
There will be one-way traffic on the bridge most days
There may be times when the bridge is closed, but we expect very little impact on our performances. Should it affect a performance, we will email you in advance with detailed information
Make sure our box office has your most current email and cell phone numbers for any last minute updates. Call us at 860-873-8668 to update your record
