The Travels of Tug 44


Brown Covered Bridge
Shrewsbury, VT




The Brown Covered Bridge was built in 1880 by Nicholas Powers. It is a 112 foot span crossing Cold River in Shrewsbury VT. The dirt road leading up to the bridge appears blindingly white because the surface is made of crushed marble, a cheap product here in Vermont.

The Brown Covered Bridge uses the Town Lattice design so common for most of these bridges.
