Willard Covered Bridge

The Willard Covered Bridge is located in the village of North Hartland, where Mill Street runs roughly eastward, crossing the Ottauquechee River to provide access to a few homes and businesses. The road crosses the river at a point south of Interstate 91 (I-91) where it is briefly bisected by a small island. The western of the bridges carrying the road is a modern covered bridge, while the Willard Bridge is to the east. It is a single-span Town lattice truss 123 feet (37 m) in length, resting on stone abutments faced in concrete. It is 21 feet (6.4 m) wide, with a roadway width of 16.5 feet (5.0 m) (one lane). The gable ends project beyond the trusses, and the roof is a standing seam metal roof. The bridge sides and portals are sheathed in vertical board siding; there are two square openings cut into each side.^[2]

The bridge was built about 1870; it is one of two surviving 19th-century covered bridges in Hartland. (The other is the Martin's Mill Covered Bridge, also listed on the National Register.)
