Review:
The Coburn Covered Bridge is an historic covered bridge stretching over the Winooski River, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974. The 1840s-era bridge, which was originally constructed in 1851, spans across Coburn Road and is the only surviving 19th-century covered bridge in the Montpelier region. Though many covered bridges of its kind once popped up all over the state between 1820 and 1900, less than 100 remain in operating condition today, preserved according to Vermont law as historic structures. It stretches for 69.5 feet and is constructed in a queenpost construction style, featuring excellently-preserved wood trusses and newly-fortified steel beams and concrete elements. It is named in honor of area resident Larned Coburn, who donated the bridge to the town in exchange for changing the road's route to pass by his house.
Address: Coburn Rd, East Montpelier, VT 05651
