Creamery Covered Bridge, Historic covered bridge in West Brattleboro, United States.

The Creamery Covered Bridge is an 80-foot Town lattice truss bridge over Whetstone Brook, built of spruce in 1879. Its roadway is 15 feet wide, with a 5.5-foot sidewalk added on the downstream side around 1920. The roof is slate over the roadway and metal over the sidewalk, and vertical board siding rises about half the truss height.

The bridge was built in 1879 following floods that destroyed an earlier crossing, serving farmers who needed to transport milk to local processing facilities. Its design using the Town lattice system was already proven as a reliable method for building sturdy river crossings.

The bridge is named for a creamery that once stood nearby, where milk from surrounding dairy farms was processed. It is the last survivor of the many covered bridges Brattleboro once had, and the only one visible from Route 9 along its whole length, which keeps it a roadside landmark.

The bridge is located roughly 2 kilometers west of downtown Brattleboro near Route 9 and is easy to reach on foot. Since it is open only to pedestrians and cyclists, you can explore it without vehicle traffic.

The structure features unusual lateral bracing with guy wires on the upstream side, which provides extra stability against sideways forces from water movement. This reinforcement is characteristic of bridges exposed to strong currents or seasonal flooding.
