Covered Bridges Of Vermont

 

Autumn Framed 

by Gates Farm Covered Bridge in Cambridge, Vermont. Until 1950 this bridge was in a different location and was called the Little Bridge. It was moved here when the Seymour River was diverted and crossed the Gates family farm. Built in 1897 by George W. Holmes, it is last bridge to be built during the historic period of covered bridge construction with the Burr arch design, and is one of only nine surviving Burr trusses in the state.. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. In 1994, after years of neglect, and with its new location in a flood plain, the bridge suffered deterioration and was removed from its abutments. In 1995 it was restored, in the process, making the interior clearance 18 inches (0.46 m) higher to allow larger farm equipment to pass through.
