Schoolhouse Covered Bridge. Lyndon, Vermont. Spanning South Wheelock Branch. Built in 1871, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places a century later. Closed to traffic in 1973.
Has declined in condition since this picture was taken. Visited again in October 2020. It was closed in 1978 when I worked a summer job in the area. Not sure how long before that that the last vehicle crossed it. The 42’ Kingpost Truss system bridge is just off an exit ramp on I-91, but is no longer visible from the highway due to foliage growth.
