Red Covered Bridge

The Red Covered Bridge extends 64 feet over Sterling Brook, featuring vertical board siding and a metal roof, all painted in a traditional red color.

Constructed in 1896, this queen post truss bridge remains the only 19th-century covered bridge in Morristown and received National Register of Historic Places status in 1974.

Vermont contains more than 100 covered bridges, with the Red Covered Bridge representing a significant example of late 19th-century engineering and construction methods.

Located at the intersection of Cole Hill Road, Sterling Valley Road, and Moren Loop, the bridge maintains a 15-foot-wide single lane for vehicle traffic.

The bridge structure incorporates twelve layers of planking in its bottom chords and rests partially on a natural granite outcrop at its north abutment.
