Shushan Bridge, Covered bridge in Shushan, New York.
The Shushan Bridge spans 161 feet across the Batten Kill river with a wooden Town lattice truss design featuring diagonal planks connected by wood trunnels.
Milton Stevens constructed this bridge in 1858, and after its closure to traffic in 1962, local residents initiated preservation efforts to save the structure.
The bridge functions as a museum displaying local artifacts and represents the engineering methods of nineteenth-century American bridge construction.
Located off NY Route 22 on County Route 61, the bridge opens to visitors during summer months from 1 PM to 5 PM, except on Mondays.
The structure contains 46 panels made of white pine, spruce, and hemlock, with an estimated total weight of 80 tons and spans the longest single crossing on Batten Kill.
