Museum Covered Bridge, Covered road bridge in Shelburne, US
The Museum Covered Bridge spans 168 feet in length and features two vehicle lanes with a footpath, supported by wooden trusses and beams.
Built in 1845 by George W. Holmes, this bridge originally crossed the Lamoille River in Cambridge, Vermont before its relocation to Shelburne Museum in 1949.
The bridge represents the engineering methods of 19th-century New England bridge builders who protected wooden structures from weather by adding protective roofs.
Visitors can access the bridge through the Shelburne Museum grounds, where parking spaces and information panels detail the structure's specifications.
During the flood of 1927, water levels rose seven feet above the bridge floor, marking the highest recorded water level in its history.
