Wright's Railroad Covered Bridge

Wright's Bridge was built in 1906 to carry the Boston and Maine Railroad across the Sugar River in Newport, and is named for S. K. Wright, who granted the Sugar River Railroad a right-of-way through his land. The single span is about 123 feet 9 inches long and is built as a double Town lattice truss reinforced by laminated arches set between the trusses. It is often cited as the last surviving covered railroad or highway bridge built with a double Town lattice truss and a laminated arch.

After the rail line closed, the bridge was preserved as part of the multi-use Sugar River Trail. It is one of only a small number of surviving covered railroad bridges in the United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
