The Stony Brook Covered Bridge, also called the Moseley Covered Bridge,[2] is a wooden covered bridge that crosses Stony Brook in Northfield, Vermont on Stony Brook Road. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
The bridge is of King post truss, one of only two historic bridges of this design left standing in the state (the other being the Pine Brook Covered Bridge).
In 1971 the bridge deck was strengthened by the addition of 5 steel I beams underneath. In 1990 the original granite abutments were faced with concrete.[3]
