The 1919 Bowers Covered Bridge, also called Brownsville Covered Bridge, is a historic covered bridge, carrying Bible Hill Road across Mill Brook in the Brownsville section of West Windsor, Vermont. Built in 1919, it has a laminated-arch deck covered by a post-and-beam superstructure, similar to Best's Covered Bridge, Windsor's other historic covered bridge. It was rebuilt after being swept off its foundation in 2011 by Hurricane Irene, then rebuilt and reopened in 2012, but has been damaged by vehicle strikes several times since then, and as of April 2016 is being considered for closure.

The bridge is a single-span laminated arch structure resting on unmortared stone abutments and covered by a post-and-beam shed. Its sides are finished in vertical board siding, and its roof is corrugated metal. Wooden floor stringers are supported by iron rods and wooden posts attached to the arches.

Bowers Bridge uses a rarely seen tied arch-truss that is exceptionally trim in appearance. The truss is protected from the elements by a post and beam shed placed on the bridge deck.
