The Pier Bridge is in Newport, New Hampshire.  Originally built in 1907 to carry the Boston and Maine Railroad across the Sugar River, it now carries the multi-use Sugar River Trail, which was built on the abandoned right-of-way.  This is the longest surviving covered railroad bridge.

The Dingleton Hill Covered Bridge, also known as the Cornish Mills Bridge, is on Root Hill Road over Mill Brook in Cornish Mills, New Hampshire.  The bridge was built in 1882 by James Tasker, a local builder, at a cost to the town of $812.  It was assembled in a schoolyard and then transported to the site. The farmers who used it would occasionally repair it.

The Blacksmith Shop Bridge was used by only one family and given its name because of its close proximity to a local blacksmith shop that once stood in an area known as Slab City.  Milton Graton repaired and restored the bridge in 1963.  The bridge was reopened to pedestrian traffic only and dedicated on September 18, 1983. The cost of repairing the bridge, in combination with the Dingleton Hill covered bridge, was $30,000.

The Quechee Covered Bridge is actually a steel bridge, constructed in 1970 as a 70 foot span over the Ottauquechee River in Quechee VT.  This bridge is a two-lane bridge complete with a pedestrian walkway alongside.  The rocky gorge to the east is pretty impressive!  Not to mention serves as Vermont’s Beach!
