The two 600-foot steel arches have the longest span length of any bridge in Connecticut, according to the Connecticut Department of Transportation, which shared a close-up look of the stamp on social media.

Other bridges featured include the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge in Omaha, Neb.; the Skydance Bridge in Oklahoma City; and the Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge in Bettendorf, Iowa and Moline, Ill.

There are more stamps being released that can be used for other letters and parcels, including a stamp that features civil rights leader and U.S. Rep. John Lewis.
