The Cold River Bridge is located in a rural setting in eastern Langdon, spanning the Cold River just to the east of Crane Brook Road, which it used to carry.

It is a single-span modified Town lattice truss with a reinforcing laminated arch, set on stone abutments.

The town's records mention payments for construction of one bridge in 1789, with replacements in 1814 and 1840.

It remained in use for vehicular traffic until 1964, when the town voted to build the adjacent structure.
