It is unusual among Vermont covered bridges in keeping a heavy slate roof. The bridge was restored in 1974, when its abutments were faced in concrete, and its deck was reinforced with steel stringers in 2006. In 2005 a dump truck that entered with its bed raised tore through the roof; the damage was repaired, slate roof included.
