The following information about the truss bridge is from the
Vermont State Historic Sites website:
OLD MEDBURYVILLE BRIDGE
OFF ROUTE 9
Relatively rare in Vermont, this double-intersection Warren truss bridge was built circa 1915 by the town of Wilmington. Iron truss bridges, which replaced many covered bridges, are becoming increasingly rare as they are being replaced by concrete and I-beam bridges.
Although the above information indicates the bridge was constructed circa 1915, other sources (including the National Register of Historic Places) indicate the bridge was actually constructed earlier (circa 1896).
