Flint Covered Bridge

The Flint Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge carrying Bicknell Hill Road over the First Branch White River in northern Tunbridge, Vermont.

[1] The Flint Covered Bridge is located in far northern Tunbridge, just south of the town line with Chelsea, carrying Bicknell Hill Road over the First Branch White River just east of Vermont Route 110.

It is a single-span Queenpost truss bridge, 87 feet (27 m) long, set on stone abutments that have been faced in concrete.

The trusses have been strengthened by iron rods descending from the diagonals, and laminated stringers have been added below the deck, with steel cables criss-crossed between the deck members to increase lateral stability.

It was given an extensive renovation in 1969, in which its exterior siding was replaced in a sympathetic manner to its original finish.
