One Drive, Five Covered Bridges: The Bridges of Bennington County Vermont

By Kim Knox Beckius, About.com Guide

As covered bridges go, Paper Mill Village Bridge is fairly new. The bridge you'll see on your tour was built in 2000 to replace the original 1889 covered bridge built on this site by Charles F. Sears.

To reach this next covered bridge, return to Route 67A West, then, just about .2 miles down the road, turn left onto Murphy Road.

Like all of the bridges you'll see on this Vermont covered bridge tour, Paper Mill Village Bridge is an example of town lattice truss design. The town lattice truss system features timber diagonals with no verticals.
