Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Creamery Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge in West Brattleboro, Vermont.

Description and history
The Creamery Covered Bridge is about Шаблон:Convert west of downtown Brattleboro, just south of Vermont Route 9 and west (upstream) of the current alignment of Guilford Road, which it previously carried. The bridge is Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide, and rests on stone abutments, one of which has been faced in concrete. The roadway is Шаблон:Convert wide, and an attached sidewalk on the downstream side is Шаблон:Convert wide. The bridge is topped by a roof that is slate over the roadway and metal over the sidewalk. The bridge trusses, built to the patented design of Ithiel Town, are protected by vertical board siding that rises about half their height, with a similar wall outside the sidewalk. Guy wires attached to the upstream side provide additional lateral support.[1]
The bridge was built in 1879 out of spruce lumber, and the sidewalk was added about 1920. It is the last of what were once a large number of covered bridges in Brattleboro, and is the only covered bridge visible from Route 9 anywhere along its length, making it a significant tourist attraction.[1] The bridge was closed to traffic in 2010.
