Lyndon, VT · also known as Centre Covered Bridge · built 1867
Photo: Magicpiano via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0)Better known in the National Register as the Centre Covered Bridge, this was built to carry Center Street between Lyndonville and Lyndon Center and was saved from demolition in 1960 by being moved to its present site north of Lyndonville. It is one of only three surviving Paddleford truss bridges in Vermont and the longest of them, using the unpatented design developed by Peter Paddleford of Littleton, New Hampshire. Long privately owned and later closed as it deteriorated, it was bought by the town in 2022, and an amended National Register listing in 2024 recognized it at the national level of significance.
