🌉 Braley Covered Bridge
Randolph, VT · built 1904
Photo: Steven Bergeron via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY 3.0)Also called the Johnson Bridge and the Upper Blaisdell Bridge, the Braley Bridge was built in 1904 by an unknown builder as an uncovered, boxed pony-truss bridge and was not covered until 1909, the date once carried on a portal. Like the nearby Gifford Bridge, its multiple kingpost truss reaches only half the height of the bridge, a rare survival of the pony-truss form. Steel I-beams were added under the deck in 1977, and the bridge was rehabilitated in 2008. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1974.
