I was a little unsettled the last time I was in Brattleboro driving across Rt9 to Bennington. There was a big bridge construction project going on next to the Creamery Bridge. Worried that it would disturb the scenery to the point where it would be difficult to shoot the bridge, I feared for the worst. Yet, when I drove past last weekend, the construction was done, the traffic was diverted off of the bridge and it really doesn’t cause any difficulties for us shutterbugs.
In fact, it has actually made it a little more accessible. I’m happy to say that one can stroll any part of the bridge without the constant traffic. Also this bridge sports a slate shingle roof testifying that it is still strong enough to take the load. The new bridge that handles the traffic has a walkway providing a great vantage point to shoot this wonderful bridge.

I just love covered bridges and this is a beauty.
Beautiful bridge and so well shot.
Darryl and Ruth : )
Now that bridge is in really good condition Steve.
Covered bridges are so cool.
I passed this bridge over the summer along Rte 9. Unfortunately, they were doing some work on it and it wasn't very photogenic. Glad to see them maintaining it though.
This bridge has such an intriguing style! It almost seems begging for a story to be created around it! Great photos!
Great shots, Steve! I love the covered bridges. It is neat that this one has a walkway.
This bridge is right down the street from me :) I'm so glad the other bridge is finished! It it sad that it can't be a working road bridge anymore, but like you said, its nice that you can now walk across it! Also, I used to live in Rockport... love that area. Nice blog.
