Albany Covered Bridge
The Albany Covered Bridge is also known as “White Mountain National Forest Bridge. The Albany Covered Bridge is a historic bridge located in the White Mountains near the Kancamagus Highway. Albany Covered Bridge was built in 1858 but destroyed by a storm which flooded the Swift River and swept away the new bridge. The bridge was quickly rebuilt and remained usable for over 100 years before needing to be renovated in 1970. This covered bridge was constructed in 1858 and spans 120 feet across the Swift River in central New Hampshire. After its renovation in the late 1900s, the Albany Covered Bridge became strong enough to support vehicular traffic. This is a popular place for landscape photography, especially during the fall.
The Albany Covered Bridge was first constructed in 1858. Repairs and restorations over the years have kept the bridge in the usable condition you see today. The site has a large parking lot that will accommodate buses and restrooms are available. There are several interpretive panels on both sides of the bridge and a granite fishing pier on the north side. The bridge is closed during the winter months but foot traffic is welcome. The parking lot is maintained year-round.
