Big Eddy Covered Bridge

The Great Eddy Covered Bridge, also called the Big Eddy Covered Bridge or Waitsfield Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that crosses the Mad River in Waitsfield, Vermont on Bridge Street. Built in 1833, it is one of Vermont's oldest covered bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The Great Eddy Covered Bridge stands just east of Waitsfield's center, spanning the Mad River in a roughly north-south orientation. It is a single-span Burr truss structure, 105 feet (32 m) in length. Each truss incorporates a laminated arch, and laminated stringers have been added underneath the deck for added strength. The bridge is covered by a metal roof, which extends on the east side over a walkway on the outside of the eastern truss. The bridge was built in 1833 and is at least the second-oldest covered bridge (after only the Pulp Mill Covered Bridge, which may have been built at a later date). It is also the state's longest single-span Burr truss bridge. -- Source Wikipedia
