Scott Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Townshend, US
The Scott Covered Bridge extends 277 feet across the West River, featuring three support forms including Town lattice truss, kingpost trusses, and laminated arches.
Constructed in 1870, this Vermont bridge underwent several modifications, including the addition of concrete piers in 1915 and structural support beams in 1961.
The bridge represents 19th-century engineering practices and stands as a testament to traditional American rural architecture in New England.
Following a $2.35 million restoration project completed in 2017, the bridge now welcomes pedestrians and cyclists, with access from Vermont Route 30.
The structure combines three different engineering support systems, making it a notable example of varied construction techniques in covered bridge design.
