Vt. Community Celebrates Return of Covered Bridge

Posted: Updated:
WEST WINDSOR, Vt. -

A Vermont covered bridge swept away during Tropical Storm Irene is scheduled to reopen soon.

The Bowers Bridge near West Windsor was built in 1884. It was swept away by flooding, but washed up with its base intact on a river bank 150 yards downstream.

Selectboard member Tom Kenyon told the Eagle-Times the turning point was finding out that the actual historical part of the bridge was basically unharmed.

Residents are invited to attend a bridge dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony at 6 p.m. Saturday.
