Ware–Hardwick Covered Bridge, Historic covered bridge in Gilbertville, Massachusetts, United States.
The Ware-Hardwick Covered Bridge stretches 137 feet across the Ware River, featuring vertical board siding and a gabled metal roof with lattice design.
Built in 1886, this bridge underwent a substantial reconstruction in 1986 and received a 1.9 million dollar restoration project before reopening without weight limits in 2010.
The bridge represents Massachusetts industrial heritage, with its location near former textile mills and its status on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986.
Located on Old Gilbertville Road between Ware and Hardwick, the single-lane bridge provides vehicle access while offering parking spots on both sides.
The bridge structure includes intentionally exposed strips in its siding, allowing natural light to filter through the wooden lattice during daytime crossings.
