Rice Farm Road Bridge

It is an iron Warren through truss, spanning the West River between Vermont Route 30 and Rice Farm Road.

[1] The Rice Farm Road Bridge is located in a rural area of central Dummerston, a short way north of Stickney Brook Road and south of West Dummerston.

The bridge is oriented east–west and is mounted on rough stone abutments that appear to be scrap material from a nearby granite quarry.

The bridge joints are also riveted, rather than the Berlin Company's more typical use of pins.

In this case, its ability to carry heavy loads was needed because it was built primarily to service the granite quarry of George E. Lyon, located on the east side of the river.
