Kingsbury Covered Bridge
The Kingsbury Covered Bridge, also known as the Hyde Covered Bride is located in southernmost Randolph, just west of Vermont Route 14 on Kingsbury Road, a lightly traveled local road. It is a single-span multiple kingpost truss bridge, with trusses 51 feet (16 m) long resting on stone abutments. The bridge is 18 feet (5.5 m) wide, with a roadway width of 15.5 feet (4.7 m) (one lane). Its exterior is sheathed in vertical board siding, and it is covered by a metal roof. There are no windows in the side walls, and the portal ends and interiors are also covered in vertical boards.
The bridge was built in 1904 by an unknown builder. It is the youngest of the state's historic covered bridges; after this bridge was built, no new covered bridges were built in the state until the 1960s. It was restored in 1980, but closed shortly thereafter due to ice damage. It was repaired again in 1994. The repairs were short-lived as another restoration was completed in 2009. -- Source Wikipedia
