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 strenghten the bridge with the addition of a laminated bow arch was not successful
