Review:
The Covered Bridges of Waitsfield are undoubtedly among some of the most beloved and cherished historical landmarks in Vermont. With dozens having been built along the states' public highways between 1820 and 1904, only two remain standing as a testament to the transportation history of Vermont: The Great Eddy Bridge and the Pine Brook. The Great Eddy Bridge, located in the Waitsfield Historic District, was constructed in 1833. It is the oldest operated covered bridge in all of Vermont, and also has the longest clear span amongst the Burr truss bridges in Vermont. Meanwhile, the Pine Brook, which is also in Waitsfield, was built in 1855 and is known for its construction's noteworthy strength and endurance.
