The Centre Covered Bridge is located just west (downstream) of US 5 on the northern outskirts of the village of Lyndonville.

It is a single-span Paddleford truss structure, set on concrete abutments, and is oriented north–south across the Passumpsic River.

The portals project beyond the ends of the trusses, and are also sheathed in vertical boards.
