Downers Covered Bridge Amsden, VT |
 |
|
The Downers Covered Bridge was built in 1840 by James Tasker ( who later went on to build the longest covered bridge in the USA, the Cornish-Windsor Bridge ) and is a 120 foot span over the Black River.
|
 |
|
After a major refurbish in 2009, the bridge is in excellent condition and still has the smell of new wood.
|
 |
|
The construction uses the original Town Lattice design, but many of the planks have been replaced.
|
 |
|
Under the bridge is the Black River ... some very beautiful but icy cold fast running waters.
