Scott Bridge, built in 1870 by Harrison Chamberlain, consists of two king post trusses and a 166-foot Town lattice truss, the latter the longest wooden span in Vermont. In 1981 a concrete pier was constructed to provide support after an earlier unsuccessful attempt to strengthen the bridge by adding a laminated bow arch.
