Lower Bartonsville Covered Bridge collapses into the Williams River in Vermont

This covered bridge built in 1870 could not survive the raging water of the Williams River in Lower Bartonsville village in the town of Rockingham, Windham County, VT. We were hoping all day the water would not reach the top of the abutment but the bridge lost its battle rather gracefully as it floated a bit down stream before breaking into pieces. Our town has set up a fund to rebuild our historic bridge go to www.rockbf.org for more information.
