Church Street Covered Bridge

The Church Street Covered Bridge spans 61 feet across the North Branch of the Lamoille River with a single-lane roadway and vertical board siding.

The bridge, constructed around 1877, received recognition through its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 for its architectural significance.

The bridge represents nineteenth-century American engineering practices, featuring a Queen post truss design that exemplifies traditional wooden bridge construction methods.

Located at the junction of Church Street and Vermont Route 109, the structure maintains an eight-ton load limit and accommodates single-lane vehicle traffic.

In 1970, local firefighters protected the wooden structure during a nearby house fire by continuously spraying water to prevent it from catching fire.
