Bement Covered Bridge

The Bement Covered Bridge is a significant historical landmark located in Bradford, New Hampshire. Originally constructed in 1854, this wooden Long-truss bridge spans the Warner River and represents a rare surviving example of mid-19th-century American engineering. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, ensuring its preservation as a piece of American architectural heritage.

The bridge was built during an era when timber was the primary material for heavy construction in the United States. Its preservation has been maintained through various restoration projects, most notably in the late 1960s and more recently in 2020-2021. Today, it remains a functional piece of infrastructure under public ownership, specifically maintained by the local municipality and the state to serve residents and attract historical tourism.
