Willard Twin Bridges

Willard Twin Bridge [WGN 45-14-64]

Hi Folks
     We left St. Johnsbury on September 23 for Brattleboro, visiting covered bridges along the way. The first three pictures are of the Willard/Twin bridges. A local woman told us that the town decided to replace a deteriorating steel/concrete bridge with a covered bridge several years ago(more info available on this website). The two bridges are now known as the twin bridges.
     The next picture is the Smith bridge, which is half of the old Garfield bridge according to Ed Barna.
     There are two pictures of the Taftsville bridge. I took the one from the streambed because Liz twisted her ankle earlier.
     The Frank Lewis bridge was built in 1981. According to Ed Barna, the bridge was built by "Frank Lewis and his tractor."
     Blow-me-Down bridge is in Cornish, New Hampshire. It was given its whimsical name by Charles C. Beaman, a New York city lawyer who owned the Blow-me-Down estate on which it was built. This bridge was also built by James F. Tasker.
     The next two pictures are of the Upper Falls bridge, back in Vermont. I had moved to the side to get out of Liz's picture. She took my picture anyway, because I looked like the "Thinker."
     The last two bridges are Bowers and Salmond. Salmond bridge has a lovely park next to it with a picnic table and a Guest book to write comments. The previous signer was from Quebec, Canada. My French is very rusty, but I think he said that he liked the bridge very much.
