Scott
Bridge
Longest
Wooden Span in Vermont
This
277' bridge built in 1870 by Harrison Chamberlin consists of two king post
trusses and a 166' Town lattice truss. The latter
was
the longest wooded 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.
