About this puzzle
Vermont is home to more than 100 historic covered wooden bridges, more than any other state relative to its size, and they remain one of the most recognizable symbols of New England's rural landscape. Most were built between 1820 and 1900, constructed with a roof and sides to protect the wooden structural beams from weathering, which could extend a bridge's lifespan from 10 years to over a century.
The quiet rivers and streams that flow beneath these bridges were once the arteries of Vermont's agricultural economy, used for logging, milling, and transport. Today the bridges are cherished landmarks, drawing visitors from across the country during every season — leaf peepers in autumn, photographers in summer, and skiers passing through in winter. Many are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
There is something deeply calming about a covered bridge scene in summer. The sound of water moving beneath the wooden planks, the filtered green light through the surrounding maples, and the stillness of a road that sees more walkers than cars all combine to create a setting that feels like a different era entirely. Vermont has worked hard to preserve these bridges, and most remain structurally sound and open to foot traffic today.

Frequently asked questions
- Why were covered bridges built with a roof?
- The roof and sides of a covered bridge were built to protect the structural wooden trusses from rain, snow, and sun. Uncovered wooden bridge frames would rot within 10 to 15 years, while a covered bridge could last 100 years or more with basic maintenance.
- How many covered bridges does Vermont have?
- Vermont has over 100 historic covered wooden bridges still standing, making it one of the most bridge-dense states in the country relative to its size. Many date back to the 1800s and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
- Can you drive across covered bridges in Vermont?
- Many of Vermont's covered bridges are still open to vehicle traffic, though most have weight and height restrictions. Others have been preserved for pedestrian use only. They remain popular stops along scenic drives and cycling routes throughout the state.
- What is the best time of year to visit Vermont's covered bridges?
- Vermont's covered bridges are beautiful in every season, but summer offers lush green surroundings and easy access, while autumn brings the famous fall foliage that makes the bridges especially photogenic. Spring features rushing streams beneath the bridges, and winter adds a quiet, snow-covered charm.
