A Town lattice truss bridge, it carries River Road, just south of the village of North Bennington.

Originally built about 1840, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 as Bennington County's oldest covered bridge.

The historic Henry House stands just south of the bridge.

The sides are finished in novelty siding, while the ends are finished horizontal flushboarding, with vertical boarding sheltering the trusses just inside the portal.

At one time, an attempt to strengthen the bridge was made by doubling the trusses, so that heavily laden trucks could pass over the bridge; this was deemed ineffective, and the change was eventually reversed.
