Silk Covered Bridge

The Silk Covered Bridge is a covered bridge, carrying Silk Road across the Walloomsac River between downtown Bennington, Vermont and the village of North Bennington, United States.

[1] The Silk Covered Bridge is located roughly midway between downtown Bennington and North Bennington, on Silk Road, which connects Vermont Route 67A and Vermont Route 279.

The sides of the bridge are clad in vertical boards, as are the insides of the portals, while the outside portal ends are finished in flush horizontal boards.

In the center part of the bridge, the boards do not rise the full height of the truss.

[2] On August 28, 2011 the Silk bridge was damaged by flood waters as a result of Hurricane Irene.
