Waitsfield Covered Bridge The Great Eddy Covered Bridge, also called the Big Eddy Covered Bridge or Waitsfield Covered Bridge, is a wooden covered bridge that crosses the Mad River in Waitsfield, Vermont on Bridge Street. Built in 1833, it is one of Vermont’s oldest covered bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Great Eddy Covered Bridge stands just east of Waitsfield’s center, spanning the Mad River in a roughly north-south orientation. It is a single-span Burr truss structure, 105 feet  in length. Each truss incorporates a laminated arch, and laminated stringers have been added underneath the deck for added strength. The bridge is covered by a metal roof, which extends on the east side over a walkway on the outside of the eastern truss. The bridge was built in 1833, and is at least the second-oldest covered bridge (after only the Pulp Mill Covered Bridge, which may have been built at a later date). It is also the state’s longest single-span Burr truss bridge. The bridge is of burr arch truss design. A sign on the bridge also identifies it as the Village covered bridge, and most news accounts about it refer to it by that name. The name is appropriate as it is located right in the village of Waitsfield (whereas a vast majority of surviving covered bridges tend to be off the beaten path). The bridge was closed for repairs in spring 2015 and reopened on November 12, 2016. Since then, although a sign was put up in 2016, people of all ages continue to jump off of the green metal roof of the bridge, out slits in the side, out of the windows of the walkway, and off of the concrete structure. Within various groups of people it is a common challenge to do a stunt off the roof, such as riding a scooter or doing a flip. A section of the river directly below is approximately twelve feet deep.

GPS: 44°11’21.03″ N 72°49’23.982″ W Hours: The bridge is on a public road and open 24 per day.

Upper Cox Brook Covered Bridge The Upper Cox Brook Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that crosses Cox Brook on Cox Brook Road in Northfield, Vermont. It is one of five surviving 19th-century covered bridges in the town, and one of three on the same road. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The bridge is of Queen post truss design, its two trusses 51.5 feet in length, and resting on abutments either faced or rebuilt in concrete. The trusses are set at an offset, skewed to form a parallelogram. The bridge is covered by a metal gabled roof, and its exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends around to the insides of the portals. The bridge deck consists of steel I-beams supporting wooden planking. The trusses no longer carry the bridge’s active load, and only support its superstructure. The siding does not rise all the way to the roof, leaving an open strip between them, and there are long rectangular strip openings on the sides, sheltered by projecting siding. On August 28, 2011, the Upper Cox Brook bridge appeared to have been severely damaged by flooding caused by Hurricane Irene. A tree was thrust up through the bridge into the roof and the approaching road was washed out. The bridge was closed for a brief time, but reopened within 2 weeks after the storm apparently suffering only minor damage. Where it is: The Upper Cox Brook Covered Bridge stands west of the village of Northfield Falls, crossing Cox Brook, a tributary of the Dog River. It is the westernmost of three covered bridges on Cox Brook Road. GPS: 44°10’24.939″ N 72°39’19.2403″ W Hours: The bridge is on a public road and is open all the time.

Scribner Covered Bridge   The Scribner Covered Bridge, also known as the Mudgett Covered Bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is one of a small number of Vermont’s covered bridges that are the result of covering an existing open bridge. It is a single-span queen post truss, 48 feet  long and 17.5 feet  wide, with a roadway width of 13.5 feet (one lane). It is covered by a gabled metal roof, and its exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends around to the insides of the portals. On the sides, the siding ends short of the roof, leaving an open strip. The bridge rests on concrete abutments that date to 1960. The trusses are unusually short and lack internal bracing, and their corner joints have been reinforced with metal plates. The bridge’s construction date and builder are not known. It has been determined that the bridge was originally an uncovered Pony truss bridge, due to the relatively low height of the queen post trusses and the discovery of supporting documents. In 1960, minor repairs were carried out and steel I beams were installed underneath the road deck. Where it is: The Scribner Covered Bridge stands in a rural area of eastern Johnson, carrying Rocky Road across the Gihon River between Vermont Route 100C and Sinclair Road. GPS: 44°38’16.566″ N 72°38’54.84″ W Hours: The bridge is on a public road and is open all the time.

Red Covered Bridge     The Red Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge, carrying Cole Hill Road across Sterling Brook in Morristown, Vermont. Built in 1896, it is the only surviving 19th-century covered bridge in the town, and one of the last to be built during the historic period of covered bridge construction in the state. It is of queen post truss design, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is a single-span queen post truss, 64 feet long and 18.5 feet wide, with a roadway width of 15 feet, carrying one lane of traffic. The bridge is covered by a red metal roof, and its exterior is clad in red-painted vertical board siding, which extends around to the insides of the portals. The siding does not extend all the way to the roof, leaving an open strip between the two. The bridge rests on abutments of stone and concrete; the north abutment includes a large granite outcrop. The bridge deck is supported by steel I-beams installed in 1971 to carry the active load. The bridge was built in 1896, one of the last known to be built in the 19th century in Vermont. Its construction is somewhat unusual, with distinctively thicker bottom chords on the trusses, built out of twelve layers of planking. As with many of the bridges, it has been known by several names including Sterling Brook/Chaffee, but most commonly is now called the Red Bridge. Where it is: The Red Covered Bridge is located in a rural area of southwestern Morristown, just north of the junction of Cole Hill Road, Sterling Valley Road, and Moren Loop. Follow Route 100 out of Stowe heading towards Morrisville and take Stagecoach Road,  which is on the left soon after leaving the village of Stowe. Turn left on Sterling Valley Road after 1.7 miles,  and the bridge is located less than two miles on the right over Sterling Brook.

Powerhouse Covered Bridge The Power House Covered Bridge, also known as the School Street Covered Bridge, is a covered bridge from 1872 that crosses the Gihon River off State Route 100C in Johnson, Vermont, US. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The bridge’s name is from a now obsolete hydroelectric generating station just upstream from it. The bridge is of Queen post truss design by an unknown builder. It is a single-span Queen post truss structure, 63.5 feet long and 19 feet, with a roadway width of 16 feet (one lane). The bridge rests on stone abutments faced in concrete, and is covered by a gabled metal roof. The exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends around to the insides of the portals. On the sides, the siding does not extend all the way to the roof, leaving an open strip. The trusses include iron rods for stability, and have had metal plates added to some of the joints for increased strength. The bridge was built in 1870, several decades before the eponymous power plant was built upriver. It is one of three surviving 19th-century bridges in Johnson. In 1960, minor repairs were conducted to the abutments, approaches and floor. In 1995, it was recommended to reinforce the deck due to the large number of trucks using the road as a short cut. Steel I beams were installed underneath. In 2000, the bridge was destroyed by a heavy snow load. The roof collapsed and the side walls fell outward into the river below. Because of the installation of the steel I beams, the deck was self-supporting and actually survived. Guardrails were put up on the sides of the deck to keep the bridge open while its fate was decided. In 2002, the contracting company of Blow & Cote was hired to reconstruct the bridge, which was reopened on June 29, 2002. Where it is: The Power House Covered Bridge is located east of the village of Johnson, on School Street just west of Vermont Route 100C. It cross the Gihon River, a tributary of the Lamoille River in a roughly east–west orientation. GPS: 44°38’10.146″ N 72°40’12.594″ W Hours: The bridge is on a public road and is open all the time.

Pine Brook Covered Bridge The Pine Brook Covered Bridge, also called the Wilder Covered Bridge, is a wooden covered bridge that crosses Pine Brook in Waitsfield, Vermont on North Road. Built in 1872, it is one two surviving 19th-century covered bridges in the town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Pine Brook Bridge stands in a rural area of northern Waitsfield, carrying North Road, a principal road in the area, across Pine Brook, a tributary of the Mad River to the west. It consists of two king post trusses, and is 48 feet long and 17.5  wide, with a roadway width of 14.5 feet (one lane). It rests on stone abutments faced in concrete, and its wooden bridge deck is supported by steel I-beams. Its exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends a short way inside the portals. The roof is standing seam metal. The bridge was built in 1872. It is one of only two historic covered bridges (the other being the Stony Brook Covered Bridge) left in the state with the king post design, and one of only two in the town (the other being the Great Eddy Covered Bridge). In 1976 repairs were made to the then dilapidating structure. Concrete caps were added to the abutments and steel I-beams were added just below the deck, so that only an overload condition would require the additional support of the beams. The trusses also received attention. In 1989 the deck was replaced. Where it is: The Pine Brook Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that crosses Pine Brook in Waitsfield, Vermont on North Road.

Built in 1872, this Town lattice truss bridge is one of five surviving covered bridges in the town, and one of two that are visible from each other (the other is the Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Northfield Falls Covered Bridge is located in the village of Northfield Falls of northern Northfield, a short way west of Vermont Route 12 on Cox Brook Road. It spans the Dog River in an east–west orientation, and is located just a few hundred feet east of the Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge, which spans the eponymous brook. It is a single-span Town lattice truss, which has been reinforced by the introduction of a central pier. It is 137 feet long and 19.5 feet wide, with a roadway width of 16 feet (one lane). It is covered by a metal gabled roof, and its exterior is sheathed in vertical board siding. The siding extends around a short way inside the portals to shelter the ends of the trusses, and extends upward only partway to the roof eave, leaving an open strip between them. The bridge rests on stone abutments faced in concrete. The bridge was built in 1872; its designed is unknown. It is one of five surviving bridges in the community, three of which are found on Cox Brook Road in the span of 0.25 miles.

Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge The Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that crosses Cox Brook in Northfield, Vermont on Cox Brook Road. Built in 1872, it is one of five surviving 19th-century covered bridges in the town, in the only place in Vermont where two historic bridges are visible from each other. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge is one of three 19th-century covered bridges that carry Cox Brook Road within a span of 0.25 miles near the village of Northfield Falls. The three Northfield bridges stand within a quarter mile of one another. The Northfield Falls Covered Bridge, from which this bridge is visible, spans the Dog River near the mouth of Cox Brook, while this bridge and the Upper Cox Brook Covered Bridge both span Cox Brook. the Slaughterhouse Bridge stand slightly below the three bridge. This bridge is a Queen post truss design, 56.5 feet long and 18.5 feet wide, with a roadway width of 15.5 feet (one lane). It is covered by a metal roof, and its exterior is clad in vertical board and batten siding painted red. The siding extends a short way into each portal. The bridge rests on abutments that are either stone faced in concrete, or have been completely rebuilt in concrete.

  Kidder Covered Bridge The Kidder Covered Bridge carries Kidder Hill Road across the South Branch Saxtons River, just south of the village center of Grafton, Vermont. The bridge was built about 1870, and is Grafton’s last surviving 19th-century covered bridge. It is the shortest historic covered bridge in Windham County, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The original covered bridge was constructed circa 1870, and was the town’s last 19th-century bridge until it was rebuilt in 1995. It is the county’s only example of a queenspost truss bridge, and is one of a handful of covered bridges in the state built with a skew. The bridge was replaced with a new wooden (covered) structure in April 1995. The Kidder Covered Bridge consists of a single span supported by two flanking timber queenpost through trusses. Iron suspension rods augment the vertical timbers in the trusses. Timbers, joined longitudinally by steel plates, have been added to the bridge under the trusses. The bridge has the form of a parallelogram, with. a skew of 15 degrees from the perpendicular between the flanking trusses. The abutments which support the ends of the bridge are constructed of stone· slabs faced with concrete. The bridge is 66 feet long and 15 feet wide, with a 12-foot roadway. On the exterior, the heavy timbers which form the queenpost trusses of the bridge are sheathed with flush boards hung vertically. Similar siding protects the ends of the trusses immediately inside the portals. There are no windows or openings in the siding. The gable ends are flat and sheathed with vertical flush boards. The roof of the bridge is covered with corrugated metal sheeting.   Where it is: The Kidder Covered Bridge is located about 0.3 miles south of the center of Grafton Village, on Kidder Hill Road.

Grist Mill Covered Bridge The Grist Mill Covered Bridge, also known as the Scott Covered Bridge, the Bryant Covered Bridge, and the Canyon Covered Bridge.  Built in the 19th century, it is one of a small number of surviving Burr arch truss bridges in the state, and is one of three left in Cambridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Grist Mill Covered Bridge is located south of the village of Jeffersonville, on Canyon Road a short way east of its junction with Vermont 108. The bridge is oriented east-west across the Brewster River, and rests on abutments of stone and concrete. It is a single-span Burr arch truss design, with a length of 84.5 feet, a total width of 17.5 feet, and a roadway width of 14 feet (one lane). It is covered by a metal gabled roof, which projects beyond the truss ends. The trusses consists of vertical posts with diagonal bracing, flanked on each side by a rounded arch made of single timbers bolted together. The exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends around to the insides of the portals. Each of the long side walls has two rectangular window cutouts. The deck is made of wooden planking. The bridge is one of three in the town of Cambridge, and is one of nine documented surviving Burr arch bridges in the state. Originally near a grist mill, its use declined in the 20th century, and by the time of its listing on the National Register in 1974, it was in somewhat deteriorated condition. In 2001, an engineering study determined that rehabilitation of the bridge was necessary to improve the load rating. In May 2004, Blow & Cote Contractors began rehabilitation, and the bridge was re-opened to traffic on October 13, 2004. Where it is: The Grist Mill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that carries Canyon Road across the Brewster River, off Vermont Route 108 in Cambridge, Vermont.

Built in 1844, it is the only 19th-century covered bridge in the state built using wooden Howe trusses and carrying a public roadway. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Gold Brook Covered Bridge is located in the Stowe Hollow area of southeastern Stowe, carrying Covered Bridge Road across Gold Brook just north of a junction with Gold Brook Road and Stowe Hollow Road.

Gates Farm Covered Bridge Built in 1897, it is last bridge to be built during the historic period of covered bridge construction with the Burr arch design. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Gates Farm Covered Bridge is located a short way east of the main village of Cambridge, on a farm property on the south side of Vermont Route 15. It is oriented east-west across the Seymour River, a tributary of the Lamoille River, which the roadway roughly parallels. The bridge is a single-span Burr arch truss, 82.5 feet long and 19.5 feet wide, with a roadway width of 16 feet. It is covered by a gabled metal roof and rests on concrete abutments. The exterior is clad in vertical board siding which stops short of the eaves, leaving an open strip near the top. The siding extends across the portals and a short way to their interior. The deck is made of wooden planking. The bridge was built by George W. Holmes in 1897, and is one of only nine surviving Burr trusses in the state. It was originally known as the “Little Covered Bridge”, and was located several hundred feet downstream carrying VT 15, near the longer Cambridge Covered Bridge across the Lamoille River. It was moved to its present location in 1950. The Seymour River originally emptied into the Lamoille River further upstream of where it does currently. In 1950, the Seymour River’s course was changed so that it no longer crossed the highway and instead emptied downstream of the Cambridge Bridge, making the Little Bridge unneeded. In diverting the river, the Gates family farm became separated from its fields by the new course of the river. The Little Bridge was moved to the Gates farm property over the new course of the Seymour River to restore access to the farm’s fields. At that time it then became known as the Gates Farm Covered Bridge. (Incidentally, the Cambridge Covered Bridge was moved and became the Shelburne Museum Covered Bridge). In 1994, after years of neglect, and with its new location in a flood plain, the bridge suffered deterioration and was removed from its abutments. In 1995 it was restored, in the process, making the interior clearance 18 inches higher to allow larger farm equipment to pass through. Where it is: The Gates Farm Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that crosses the Seymour River off State Route 15 in Cambridge, Vermont. The Gates Farm Covered Bridge is located a short way east of the main village of Cambridge, on a farm property on the south side of Vermont Route 15.  The bridge is maintained and owned by a private owner.
