🌉 Schoolhouse Covered Bridge
Lyndon, VT · built 1879
Photo: Doug Kerr via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 2.0)One of five surviving 19th-century covered bridges in Lyndon, a town that calls itself a covered-bridge capital, this small span replaced an earlier uncovered bridge that had drawn local criticism. It is believed to be the only surviving Vermont covered bridge of its era built with covered walkways on both sides, and local accounts say its trusses were boarded inside to keep schoolchildren from climbing them. Bypassed by a modern bridge, it now serves pedestrians just south of South Wheelock Road near the US 5 and I-91 interchange.
