Arthur A. Smith Covered Bridge
Arthur A. Smith Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Colrain, United States.
The Arthur A. Smith Covered Bridge extends 100 feet across the North River with vertical pine board siding and a gabled slate roof.
Built in 1869, this single-span bridge received additional structural support through two large laminated lumber arches installed in 1920 to reinforce its construction.
The bridge represents traditional New England engineering methods, incorporating a Burr Truss design with ten braced king posts under tension from segmented timber arches.
Located at 1 Lyonsville Road, the bridge maintains a single traffic lane with an external width of 17 feet and internal clearance of 12 feet.
Following a $2.1 million restoration in 2007, the structure stands as Massachusetts' only remaining Burr truss bridge, positioned on elevated abutments above the floodplain.
