Scott Covered Bridge Closed to Pedestrians

WGN 45-13-13

 

Townshend, VT, February 13, 2012 - The Townshend Selectboard received notice from state agent Scott Newman last Wednesday that informed them the bridge, which connects State Forest Road and Route 30, would soon be closed to all traffic. The closure took place at 5 p.m. on Friday.

The bridge, owned by the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, has long been closed to vehicular traffic. The closure now iconveniences the local shool bus as the bridge has been a stop for the children living on State Forest Road across West River from Route 30.
