List of non-authentic covered bridges in Vermont

The State of Vermont has the highest number of covered bridges per square mile in the United States. Replica covered bridges have also been built throughout the state to capture the essence of the historic bridges. Non-authentic covered bridges are those that do not use traditional truss construction. Usually they are built with stringer construction. This list is bound to be incomplete as "backyard bridges", as most of these can be, are not publicized.

Bridge access by the public
The "access" column indicates whether the bridge is publicly accessible or not.


 * Public bridges: There are some bridges in this list that are truly public... bridges at parks, etc. Other bridges that are technically privately owned, but on property generally open to the public (condominium projects, hotels, stores, etc.) are also listed as "public".  It can be assumed that easy access to these bridges without trespassing is possible.
 * Private bridges: Bridges that are definitely privately owned and not open to the public are marked as "private", despite whether or not visitors are welcomed. In the case of these bridges, it is noted (when known) whether they can be seen or accessed from public land (a road) without trespassing.
