Description and history

The Cilley Covered Bridge stands in a rural area about Шаблон:Convert south of the central village of Tunbridge. It carries Howe Lane, a side loop off Vermont Route 110, across the First Branch White River. It is a single-span king-post truss structure, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide, with a road bed Шаблон:Convert wide (one lane). The bridge is set on abutments of stone, one of which has been faced in concrete, and is covered in vertical board siding and a metal roof. The south side of the bridge has two square window holes, which improve visibility due to a sharp turn in the road at one end. The trusses are set at a skew, giving the bridge the shape of a parallelogram. The portals are square, and the exterior sheathing extends around to the ends of the trusses on the interior.[2]

The bridge was built in 1883, and has been little altered since then. It is one of six bridges in a Шаблон:Convert stretch of the First Branch White River, representing one of the highest concentrations of covered bridges in the state.[2]
