Built in the 19th century, it is one of five covered bridges in Lyndon.

[1] The Burrington Covered Bridge is in a rural area northeast of downtown Lyndon, just south of Vermont Route 114 and west of Burrington Bridge Road.

VT 114 parallels the Passumpsic River's north bank, and Burrington Bridge Road spans the river just upstream from the covered bridge.

The portals project beyond the ends of the trusses, and are faced in vertical board siding.

All exhibit similar features: wide eaves, shortened siding, and projecting portals.
