Description: The Scott Covered Bridge is located near Townshend, Vermont, and is one of the longest covered bridges in the state. Built in 1870, the bridge spans 121 feet across the West River and is a Town Lattice Truss design, which was a popular construction style for covered bridges in the 19th century. The Scott Covered Bridge is notable not only for its length but also for its unique double-bay construction, featuring a main span and a smaller side span. Although the bridge no longer carries vehicle traffic, it has been preserved for historical and pedestrian use, reflecting the region’s dedication to maintaining its architectural heritage. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains a popular site for visitors who enjoy Vermont’s scenic beauty and rich history.
