Gates Farm Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Cambridge, US.
The Gates Farm Covered Bridge spans 82.5 feet across the Seymour River with vertical board siding and a gabled metal roof on concrete abutments.
Built in 1897, this bridge represents the final construction of covered bridges using the Burr arch design during Vermont's historic bridge-building period.
The bridge earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 for its architectural and engineering contributions to American heritage.
Located east of Cambridge village on private farmland, the bridge serves agricultural purposes and allows farm equipment to cross the Seymour River.
In 1950, workers relocated the structure from its original position near VT 15 to the Gates farm property following changes in the river's course.
