Salmond - 1875
The 1875 Salmond Covered Bridge is a 53-foot long Multiple Kingpost Truss that carries Henry Gould Road over the Black River in Weathersfield. This bridge was moved to its current location in 1986 in Weathersfield, Windsor County, Vermont.
Originally crossing the Black River near Stoughton Pond the bridge was moved in 1959 to a location beside Route 131 in Amsden to remove it from the flood control area. The bridge served as a town storage shed until it was restored and moved to its current location in 1986.
The length of the largest span is 46.9 feet, with a deck width of 15.4 feet, and a 6 tons weight limit. It was built by James F. Tasker.
Of the over 500 covered bridges that were built in the state of Vermont, as of 2019, only 104 remain.
