The 1841 Gorham Covered Bridge carries Gorham Bridge Road across Otter Creek in a rural area of Pittsford and Proctor, in Rutland County, Vermont. It is a Town lattice truss bridge, built by Abraham Owen and Nicholas M. Powers, the latter in the early stages of his long career as a well-known bridgewright. 

The Gorham Covered Bridge is a single-span Town lattice truss, 114 feet in length, resting on stone abutments that have been faced in concrete. The bridge has been strengthened by the addition of laminated beams below the road deck, which is 18 feet wide. The bridge's exterior is sheathed in vertical board siding, which ends short of the roofline and is topped by a gabled roof now covered in corrugated metal. The siding extends around the sides to the portal faces and a short way inside the portals.

Built-in 1841, it is one of Vermont's oldest surviving covered bridges. Built by Abraham Owen and Nicholas M. Powers, the latter then an apprentice to Owen. Powers. A Vermont native, Powers was credited with a large number of covered bridges. At the time of this bridge's listing on the National Register, it was one of three surviving Vermont bridges known to have been built by Powers.

Of the over 500 covered bridges built in Vermont, as of 2019, only 104 remain.

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
