Whittier Bridge, Wooden covered bridge in Ossipee, New Hampshire, United States.
The Whittier Bridge extends 132 feet across the Bearcamp River with a Paddleford truss design and open sides following the 1983 restoration.
Built in 1870 after floods destroyed the previous structure, this bridge replaced earlier crossings dating back to 1792 when the area was first settled.
The bridge bears the name of poet John Greenleaf Whittier, who frequented the West Ossipee Hotel during summer seasons in the 1870s.
Located west of Route 16 at West Ossipee Village on old Route 125, the bridge now serves only pedestrian traffic following its 2022 restoration.
The structure features shorter vertical board siding instead of full-height walls, allowing visitors to view the river through its open sides.
