The Covered Bridge Program at Work
John Weaver, P.E.
September 2, 2005 - Here are some pictures of Slaughterhouse (Northfield) and
Moxley (Chelsea) Covered Bridges which were addressed under current Vermont Agency of
Transportation contracts for stone re-pointing, fire retardant application, guard rail installation
and other miscellaneous work.
This work is being done under the National Historic
Bridge Preservation Program, sometimes known as the Covered Bridge Program financed by
Senator Jeffords' funds. This year, in Vermont, there were 15 covered bridge sites addressed
under four separate contracts.
