Bath Covered Bridge
Bath, over the Ammonoosuc River off US 302. Built 1832, about 390 ft. long. A four-span Modified Burr truss and the longest covered bridge entirely within New Hampshire. NRHP listed.
The Bath Covered Bridge crosses the Ammonoosuc River in the center of Bath village, just off US Route 302 and NH Route 10. Built in 1832, it is a four-span structure more than 390 feet long with a roadbed about 22 feet wide, and is the longest covered bridge lying entirely within New Hampshire. Its unusual Modified Burr truss makes it a rare survivor of the early craftsman tradition of wooden bridge building, from before designs were standardized around patented truss plans.
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and underwent a major rehabilitation in the 2010s. It remains open to vehicular and foot traffic.
