Pittsburg-Clarksville (Bacon) Covered Bridge
Pittsburg, over the Connecticut River (Bacon Road). Built 1876, about 88 ft. long. Also called the Bacon Bridge; the northernmost covered bridge on the Connecticut River.
The Pittsburg-Clarksville Covered Bridge, also known as the Bacon Bridge, spans the Connecticut River on Bacon Road between Pittsburg and Clarksville. Built in 1876, it is a Paddleford truss with added arches about 88 feet long, and is the northernmost covered bridge crossing the Connecticut River. Townspeople raised the money to build it near Ebenezer Fletcher's sawmill.
Rehabilitated in 1974 and closed to vehicles in 1981, it remains open to pedestrians beside a rushing stretch of the young river in New Hampshire's Great North Woods.
