Comments:
This bridge was built to replace a structure lost to a freshet the previous November at a cost of $1037.80. The bridge was depicted on the 1886 Brattleboro Panoramic Map. A covered sidewalk was added in 1917. In 2010, the road was relocated to the east and the bridge bypassed. It is no longer open to vehicular traffic.
