Comments:
The Warren Bridge was built by Walter Bagley in 1880. The portal of this bridge was once arched. It is one of two covered bridges in Vermont to have the trusses completely covered on both the inside and outside. The other is the Schoolhouse Bridge in Lyndon. In the fall of 1995, the roadway was strengthened with timber cross-braces and stringers by Paul Ide and Jan Lewandoski. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 7, 1974.
