There was already a Cilleyville Bridge just eight hundred feet away on the Blackwater River, located in an area of Andover named after the Cilley family.

Built in 1887 and located off New Hampshire Route 11 west of Andover center, the Town lattice truss bridge is one of New Hampshire's few surviving 19th-century covered bridges.

The asphalt shingle roof, a replacement made in 1982, is the only major modification to the bridge.

[3] The Town through truss bridge was built in 1887 by local carpenter Prentice C. Atwood.

The bridge originally carried Bog Road across Pleasant Brook, but was reduced to foot traffic when the current alignment of New Hampshire Route 11 bypassed it in 1957.
