Longest Wooden Span in Vermont
This 277' bridge, built in 1870 by Harrison Chamberlain, consists of two king post trusses and a 166' Town lattice truss. The latter was the longest wooden span in Vermont. In 1981 a concrete pier was constructed to provide support. An earlier attempt to strengthen the bridge with the addition of a laminated bow arch was not successful.Details
