Poland Covered Bridge
Poland Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Cambridge, United States
The Poland Covered Bridge extends 152 feet across the Lamoille River, featuring wooden trusses, vertical board siding, and rectangular windows for natural light.
George W. Holmes constructed this Burr arch design bridge in 1887, naming it after Judge Poland, which sparked local controversy due to its construction costs.
The bridge represents Vermont's traditional engineering methods, incorporating laminated arches within the truss structure to distribute weight across the entire span.
Located east of Jeffersonville, the bridge connects Vermont Routes 15 and 109, maintaining a single-lane roadway width of 15.5 feet with a 3-ton load limit.
The structure includes specially designed tire rails installed during its 2004 reconstruction to prevent vehicles from colliding with the internal support posts.

Vermont contains remote locations of historical importance that often lie away from major routes. The region encompasses active and abandoned granite quarries, one-room schoolhouses dating from the 19th century, wooden covered bridges, and waterfalls flowing through forested gorges. Trails cross the Green Mountains, leading to mountain lakes, abandoned settlements, and farms that have operated for generations. Historic sites include President Calvin Coolidge's birthplace in Plymouth Notch, preserved as a museum village, and Naulakha, Rudyard Kipling's former residence in Dummerston. Several state parks provide views over the Champlain Valley and Lake Champlain. The marble exhibits in Proctor document the region's quarrying history. These locations offer insight into Vermont's industrial past, literary heritage, and rural traditions.
