The Hopkins Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that crosses the Trout River in Enosburg, Vermont on Hopkins Bridge Road. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
The bridge is of Town lattice design built by Sheldon & Savannah Jewett - brothers who built several bridges in the area.
Recent history
The Vermont Agency of Transportation in 1993 reported that the bridge was over-stressed and it was closed. The one farm that the bridge served was provided with a temporary bridge. The Hopkins bridge was completely renovated by Renauld Bros. or Vernon, Vermont and reopened in 1999.[2]
