Scott Covered Bridge
Visit Scott Covered Bridge, the longest wooden span bridge in Vermont. This 277' bridge built in 1870 consists of two king post trusses and a 166' town lattice truss. The latter was the longest wooden span in Vermont; in 1981 a concrete pier was constructed to provide support. An earlier attempt to strengthen the bridge with the addition of a laminated bow arch was not successful.
