Description and history

The Dingleton Hill Covered Bridge is located about Шаблон:Convert east of New Hampshire Route 12, on Root Mill Road just south of Town House Road. The bridge is a single span kingspost truss structure running Шаблон:Convert, resting on an original stone abutment and a 1954 concrete abutment. Its original wood-shingle roof has been replaced by corrugated metal. Only the lower half of the trusses are sheathed with vertical planking; the upper half is exposed. The upper portion of the portals are finished in vertical board siding. Its interior is Шаблон:Convert wide, carrying one lane of traffic.[2]

The bridge was built in 1882 by James Tasker, a local builder, at a cost to the town of $812.[2] It underwent a major restoration in 1983 by Milton Graton, after which there was a rededication ceremony attended by one of Tasker's descendants.[3] The bridge was damaged in 2016 when a school bus (overweight for the posted limit, and overheight for its portals) crossed the bridge; the damage was repaired and the bridge reopened several months later.[4]
