Built in the late 19th century, it is one of five covered bridges in a space of about five miles that cross the North Branch Lamoille.

It has a gabled metal roof, and its exterior is clad in vertical board siding which extends around to the insides of the portals.

The trusses incorporate iron rods extending from the top of the diagonal bracing to the bottom chords.

The bridge deck is wooden planking laid over steel I-beams, which carry the active load.

In 1970, the bridge survived a fire at a nearby house when firefighters hosed it down to prevent it from catching.
