Fisher Covered Railroad Bridge

Now closed, it was the last covered bridge in Vermont to carry railroad traffic, and is a rare surviving example in the state of a double Town lattice truss.

[1] The Fisher Covered Railroad Bridge stands in a rural area southeast of the village center of Wolcott, south of Vermont Route 15.

It spans the Lamoille River in a northwest-southeast orientation, and is accessed from a small parking area just to the north.

The bridge is covered by a gabled roof which has a distinctive central monitor for much of its length.

The decking now has a steel I-beam substructure, leaving the trusses to only support the superstructure.
