West Dummerston Covered Bridge West Dummerston, VT |
|
The West Dumnmerston Covered Bridge was built in 1872 by Celeb Lamson, and is one of the longest covered bridges. It consists of two spans for a total of 280 feet.
|
|
The bridge uses the Town Lattice Truss design, and received a major restoration in 1998. There are timbers fastened to the floor providing a safe walkway for pedestrians and to prevent cars from hitting the sides.
|
|
The bridge is easily seen from the highway, with the West River flowing underneath. The Green Mountains of Vermont, with some fall colors, make a lovely background for the West Dummerston Covered Bridge.
