Watson Settlement Bridge - Littleton ME - Truss Bridges on Waymarking.com

Watson Settlement Bridge is a historic covered bridge in eastern Littleton, Maine, United States. Built in 1911, it is one of the youngest of Maine's few surviving covered bridges. It formerly carried Framingham Road over the Meduxnekeag River, but is now closed to traffic, the road passing over a modern bridge to its south. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

The covered bridge is about 150 feet (46 m) long, with two spans resting on stone abutments and a central pier. The bases of these structures are rubblestone that has been reinforced with concrete, with a 5-foot (1.5 m) top section that is contained within a timber cribwork.
