Lowes Covered Bridge crosses the Piscataquis River between the towns of Guilford and Sangerville in Piscataquis County, Maine. The original bridge dated to 1857 and used a Long truss. After the historic span was washed away in a 1987 flood, the bridge was rebuilt in 1990 following the same design. It stretches about 146 feet across the river. The bridge remains an important local crossing and a reminder of the region's covered bridge heritage.
