Rutland County is the home of a total of 15 covered bridges. Of this number, 8 are historic bridges, and 7 are non-traditional bridges.
One of the historic bridges, the Brown Bridge in Shrewsbury, has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. Another of the historic bridges, the Twin in Rutland Town, is a shell of its former self. It serves as a town storage facility.
Three of the historic bridges have gone through major restorations, while another is in stable but unusable condition.
Some of the non-traditional bridges are difficult to find. Some are private. And then again, some appear to be historic covered bridges.
Select the map below and check the details for each bridge for complete information and locations.

Information for Bridge-Watch volunteers:
For the convenience of our Bridge-Watchers, here are the Bridge-Watch checklists in two formats. As you perform the bridge inspections, you can use either an online form or a printed form. The online form will be submitted automatically, while the printed form must be mailed in. Either option is acceptable
