LEMON FAIR RIVER
ADDISON COUNTY
BUILT - 1897
Length - 108'.... On abandoned RR line W. of Whiting, Shoreham Township. Shoreham Whiting Rd. (changes to Richville Rd.) W. 2.8 miles from jct with VT73 E. in Whiting, S. on East Shoreham Rd. 0.7 miles to the bridge on the W. side of the road. The bridge was built in 1897 by the Rutland Railroad Company for service on its Addison Branch line. Because of the line's relatively light traffic, it was not judged necessary to go to the expense of building an iron bridge, resulting in the construction of one of the state's few surviving 19th-century covered railroad bridges. The bridge was last used for rail traffic in 1951. The railroad tracks have been removed and replaced with a plank walkway. The bridge was renovated in 1983 with new siding and a new roof. Rehabilitated in 2007. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1974. Truss Type - Covered Single Span Howe Truss.

BUILT - 1853
Length - 199'.... NW edge of Middlebury. Seymour St. N. ,03 miles from jct with US Rt.-7 in Middlebury, W.on Seymour St. 350', N. on Seymour St. .05 miles, W. on Pulp Mill Bridge Rd. 50' to bridge. The bridge is of Burr Arch design. Around 1860, the original Burr Arches were removed, and laminated ones added to King Post Trusses, changing the bridge type to a King Post with Burr Arch Design. The bridge was originally built as a single span but inherent design problems, and heavy use, has driven almost constant improvements. Amongst those improvements was the addition of two piers in the creek effectively dividing the bridge into 3 spans. A non-structural improvement was the addition of a walkway on the outside of the bridge. Piers added 1979; rehabilitated in 1991, and again in 2012. Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1974. Open to through traffic. Truss Type - Double-Barreled Burr Arch with additional arched added.
