Pine Brook Covered Bridge

The Pine Brook Covered Bridge, also called the Wilder Covered Bridge,[2] is a wooden covered bridge that crosses Pine Brook in Waitsfield, Vermont on North Road.

[1] The Pine Brook Bridge stands in a rural area of northern Waitsfield, carrying North Road, a principal road in the area, across Pine Brook, a tributary of the Mad River to the west.

It rests on stone abutments faced in concrete, and its wooden bridge deck is supported by steel I-beams.

Its exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends a short way inside the portals.

Concrete caps were added to the abutments and steel I-beams were added just below the deck, so that only an overload condition would require the additional support of the beams.
