Lyndon, VT · also known as Randall Covered Bridge · built 1865
Photo: Magicpiano via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0)Known as both the Old Burrington and the Randall bridge, this is the oldest of Lyndon's surviving covered bridges and a clear example of the local style, with open sides, wide eaves and extended gables. It formerly carried Burrington Bridge Road northeast of town. When a concrete bridge replaced it in 1965 the covered span was left standing beside its successor, and it later served for a time as a snowmobile crossing.
