Twigg Bridge, West Windsor |
|
|
|
Vermont has many covered bridges. Have you ever heard of half a bridge?? No..... well that is exactly what the Twigg bridge is.. originally the100 foot trusses from the retired Garfield Bridge were cut in half and this bridge was constructed and a twin bridge is in Pomfret Vermont. |

The view through the lattice work of the bridge frames Mt Ascutney, a spectacular view in all seasons. |

Only 36 feet long, this one of the shorter covered bridges in Vermont, but definately one of the nicer looking bridges. |

The Twigg bridge was constructed in 1973. Originally I created this page September 5, 2001, I had just found out about the bridge and it was one of my favorites. Unfortunately this bridge collapsed on October 6, 2001 during an extreme high wind storm. |

The Twigg bridge is one of the privately owned bridges in Vermont and handsomely decorated with hanging plants. The bridge is used as an entrance to a planned development. |
