Gifford Covered Bridge

It is a short way east of Vermont Route 14, carrying Hyde Road across the Second Branch White River.

The portal ends of the structure extend beyond the trusses, and it is covered by a metal roof, with vertical board siding.

The reason for this is that the bridge was most likely built uncovered, its trusses covered by planking to protect them from the elements.

In 2001, extensive repairs were made to the bridge, including raising it up from the river to help prevent flood waters from reaching the deck.

There is evidence that the weight limit is forcing heavy vehicles to ford the shallow river next to the bridge.
