Green River Covered Bridge, Wooden covered bridge in Guilford, United States.
The Green River Covered Bridge is a wooden structure in Guilford that crosses the river to connect local roads through the countryside. Its interior shows the classic lattice framework and wooden construction typical of bridges from that era.
Built in the 1870s by Marcus Worden, the bridge is a Town lattice truss carried on dry-laid stone abutments later capped in concrete. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Its remote setting spared it the heavy traffic that has stressed other covered bridges in Vermont.
The bridge is a focal point of the village of Green River, which retains modest 19th-century buildings, an old mill pond and unpaved roads. Its remote setting has spared it the heavy traffic that has stressed other covered bridges in Vermont.
The bridge is located at the intersection of two local roads and is accessible by vehicle for crossing or viewing. Visitors can stop nearby to walk around and observe the structure from different angles.
The bridge's remote rural setting has spared it the heavy traffic that has stressed other covered bridges in Vermont. Its trusses use large planks cut to the patented lattice design of Ithiel Town, and the floor has been reinforced with laminated beams.
