Van Tran Flat Covered Bridge

The Van Tran Flat Bridge was originally built in 1860 by John Davidson. The bridge crosses Willowemoc Creek and is 117 feet long. A Town truss was used in its design. The bridge was originally known as Motts Flats Bridge. It is the oldest of four remaining Catskill-type Town-Lattice covered bridges in Sullivan County, New York. The structure was closed for more than four decades until restoration work began on the bridge in 1984 with the Department of Public Works doing the work with consultation by Milton S. Graton of New Hampshire. The bridge reopened to vehicular traffic in November of 1985.
