Pulp Mill Bridge - Middlebury, VT - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

It was originally a single span, but time and use have reduced it's structural integrity - and part of reconstruction was dividing it into 3 spans with concrete piers, and timber cribs added at each division.

The only other 2-lane covered bridge in Vermont serves as a staff entrance to Shelburne Museum. It has it's own waymark.

There is a nice old mill waterfall on Otter Creek, just north of this bridge; it is included in the gallery.
