Carleton Bridge, Covered bridge in East Swanzey, United States
The Carleton Bridge extends 67 feet across the South Branch Ashuelot River with vertical board siding and a gabled roof structure.
Built in 1869, this wooden bridge stands as the last remaining example of a 19th-century Queenspost truss design in the region.
The bridge represents the technological advancement of New Hampshire's rural infrastructure during the industrial development of the nineteenth century.
The bridge contains a single traffic lane measuring 12 feet wide and rests upon solid granite abutments that support its wooden structure.
The 1997 restoration project required complete dismantling of the bridge to replace decayed components, with costs exceeding 414,000 dollars.
