Creamery Bridge Reconstruction Progress - June 3

The bridge roofing, siding, and superstructure is complete. Abutment and approach work remains to be done. |

| This lower chord-end configuration is found nowhere else among Vermont's covered bridges. |
 |
| The abutments are in fair to poor condition. The northeast stone wing has failed completely, requiring reconstruction. The south abutment requires extensive areas of new stone masonry wing construction and existing stone masonry re-pointing. Also, portions of the stone abutment backwall require rebuilding and the west abutment itself requires new bolster beam seats. |
