Scott Bridge -- Longest Wooden Span in Vermont
Longest Single Span Covered Bridge in State This 277 Foot Bridge, built in 1870 by Harrison Chamberlin, consists of two king post trusses and a 166 foot 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.
