This bridge, spanning the Lamoille River on the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad, is the last railroad covered bridge still in regular use in Vermont and one of a very few left in the U.S. Built in 1908, it is the only one remaining with full length cupola. which provided a smoke escape. In 1968, the bridge was scheduled for destruction to make way for a new steel span. It was saved by placing heavy steel beams underneath. This preservation was achieved with state funds and with generous private donations raised by the Lamoille County Development Council. |
