My plan was to photograph this bridge first and then make my way north taking pictures of other bridges as I went. As you can see from the photo above, when I reached this bridge, the area was still very much covered in a thick fog. I took a few photos and then drove up to the northernmost bridge and worked my way back to this one.
This bridge has the distinction of being the most northerly Connecticut River bridge connecting Vermont and New Hampshire. The Connecticut River separates the two states but any bridges north of here are all in New Hampshire where the river originates from Lake Francis.
The Columbia Bridge was built in 1912. It replaced an earlier bridge which had been destroyed by fire in 1911. I find it interesting that it is only open on one side.
Love the angles!
Thank you so much. It’s a pretty bridge that’s kind of hidden away.
It is a pretty bridge! I like the first photo in particular.
It’s the only one that I’ve captired in fog. Who knows, maybe i can get another this weekend.
Maybe! The weather forecast is for clouds this weekend.
Fog and mist make it look captivating, in my opinion. 👁👁🍂
Thank you so much, Gail
Love the innards 🙂
A covered bridge shrouded in fog….what a great start for a story.
It is all set for a mystery or hgorror writer to take over.
Nice bridge. Strange that it is open only on one side.
Thank you. Yes, the history of the bridge did not explain why only one side is open.
I love the foggy image. I wonder what the reasoning was for having only one side open. Interesting! Thank you Chris! I hope you have a great day
Thank you Sandra. I wish the state book on these bridges explained why only one side was open. Sometimes, I have many questions when I leave a bridge. It was a good day here. I hope it was the same there. Take care.
You do a great job of sharing all there is to know. It’s fun to wonder together about some of the unanswered questions. Going well so far. Happy to hear you are doing well too. Let’s keep it going! Take care
These have always been my favourite types of bridge. I don’t think I’ve actually drove over one as we don’t have these types in the West. Great shots!
Thank you, Rob. You;ll have to come east some time and drive across a few.
The fog gives the 1st photo a great atmosphere! Happy travels 🚙
Thank you, Ashley. It does have that spookly, mysterious feeling. Have a great day.
I wonder why it has only one open side? I love the fog around the first one. It makes it look so cold, yet the trees are all still so green. A very nice spooky, autumn feel. Beautiful work Chris!
Being open on just one side seems to be the mystery here. The fog is definitely a different look from the usual bridge images I’ve posted. At this point, so many leaves have not only turned colors but fallen. It may look very different now. Have a great day, Andi.
A bridge hidden in fog – would really make for good beginning of a story!!
It would make for a good story. It gives it a bit of atmosphere.
