Photo: Steven Bergeron via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY 3.0)The Belvidere Mill Bridge was built by Lewis Robinson and stands slightly skewed, giving it a parallelogram shape. It is one of two covered bridges in Belvidere and one of five spanning the North Branch of the Lamoille River within five miles. Steel beams were installed under its deck in 1971 after a contractor's snowplow broke through the floor, and its trusses were repaired in 1995 by Jan Lewandoski and Paul Ide. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
