Eagleville Covered Bridge Eagleville, NY |
 |
|
The Eagleville Covered Bridge was built in 1858, by Epherim W Clapp, using the Towne Lattice Construction.
|
 |
|
In 2007 this bridge received major repairs and a fresh coat of paint. This the view from the west.

 |
|
The late afternoon sun lights up the fresh red paint on the bridge and shows off the crystal clear waters of the Battenkill. It is a single 100 foot span. This is the view from the east.

|
The bridge was designed using the Towne Lattice Truss construction method. Note the heavy wooden pegs holding the beams together.
|
 |
|
On the underside of the bridge, even heavier oak beams support the modern car traffic. On the sides, recently added oak planks are sandwiched together to form additional support beams.
