It is a steel Warren through bridge, built in 1896 across the Deerfield River, just south of Vermont Route 9 roughly midway between the centers of Wilmington and Searsburg.

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990;[1] as it has no decking, it is closed to all forms of traffic.

[2] The Medburyville Bridge is a double-intersection steel Warren through truss bridge, a variant of the standard Warren patent in which two sets of triangular elements provide increased rigidity to the trusses.

The builder was the Vermont Construction Company, the state's first fabricator of metal truss bridges.

The town turned ownership of the bridge over to the state, whose historic preservation commission is responsible for its maintenance.
