East Shoreham Covered Railroad Bridge

It is located about 0.2 miles (0.32 km) west of the Shoreham-Depot Road, and is accessible on foot via the former railroad right-of-way, now (along with the bridge) a state-owned property.

It is a single-span Howe truss structure, 109 feet (33 m) in length, and set on dry-laid stone abutments faced in concrete.

The railroad tracks, which have been removed, were original laid directly on the deck timbers.

The bridge's exterior consists of vertical board siding covered by a metal roof.

[2] The bridge was built in 1897 by the Rutland Railroad Company for service on its Addison Branch line.
