Also called the High Bridge, the Halpin bridge stands about 41 feet above the Muddy Branch gorge, making it the highest covered bridge in Vermont above its streambed. It was built to serve an early marble quarry at Marble Ledge and originally rested on dry-laid marble abutments. Today it provides access only to the Halpin family farm at the end of a dead-end road. In 1994, builder Jan Lewandoski lifted the bridge off its crumbling marble abutments and reset it on new concrete abutments.
